Conversation History
“Pound for Pound no. 1, unbelievable performance. I think Islam goes down as one of the best ever”
– Paddy Pimblett, hailing Islam Makhachev as the new Pound for Pound king following his win at UFC 322
“Islam was chatting pony the other day, asking who I have beaten when he got a title shot at lightweight off beating Bobby Green, someone who I beat faster than you, you little b*m. So, how about that one, Islam? Get back down to lightweight and I’ll punch your little head in as well”
– reacted that he wanted JDM to beat Islam Makhachev at UFC 322 via UFC Europe
“I hope JDM [Della Maddalena] absolutely punches his little head in. I hope JDM batters him. I think JDM’s a much better boxer. If he can keep it on the feet, then he will absolutely batter him, and I hope he does.”

“Now I don't know who's gonna be next for Ilia. Maybe Arman, maybe Gaethje, but not Paddy, for sure. Paddy beat who? Tony Ferguson? Who else he beat? [Michael] Chandler? Everybody beat Chandler. He can do some things, but I don’t see a big chance. I don’t know, maybe, honestly it’s not a big challenge for Topuria. Arman is a really big deal. If he beats Arman, because Arman has good skills striking, wrestling, grappling, he’s a good fighter. Paddy, nobody checked Paddy before”
