“He reminds me of the Conor McGregor story. He came in with this great personality, and they were always overlooked. Every time he fought, everybody believed he was going to lose, and Paddy has been that guy more so than Conor McGregor. This is a huge test for him... Every time [Pimblett] fights, he’s the underdog, and people think he’s gonna lose.”
