MJF teases appearance at UFC 282, says he’s more than game to knock out Paddy Pimblett

Newly crowned AEW World Champion MJF is teasing an appearance at UFC 282.

After a social media exchange with UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett, MJF told ESPN he’s considering confronting Pimblett at his next fight, which is Saturday, December 10.

The exchange began when Pimblett, who is nicknamed “The Baddy”, commented on an MJF interview video clip on Instagram, in which MJF talked about how dangerous professional wrestling is, calling it even riskier than MMA.

MJF told EPSN: “I’m sick and tired of people talking about pro wrestling as if it’s some f—ing stunt show. The fact of the matter is Paddy ‘The Prima Donna’ Pimblett would not last two seconds in a professional wrestling ring with me. Maybe not even one. This fat, moon-faced prick, Will-from-Stranger-Things-looking a–hole dollar store Conor McGregor decided he needed to chirp up and say, ‘Oh, wrestling is fake.’ Let me tell you something. We are real fighters. They are prima donnas.”

MJF then went on to say To ESPN: “Pro wrestling is a dangerous, dangerous sport, and there is no one more dangerous than MJF. I can assure you when we come to London in 2023, if Paddy shows his face, he’s going to find out that a Scouser [a native or inhabitant of Liverpool, England] is no match for a Long Islander. Because I’m better than him and he knows it. There’s a target on my back at all times. Like I said, if ‘Paddy the Baddy’ thinks he can aim at that target and hit it, I am more than game. More than game to knock that guy out.”

According to ESPN, Pimblett is 3-0 in the UFC with three finishes and has a massive fan base with over 2 million followers on Instagram.
