Paddy Pimblett is at a crucial point in his MMA career.
Pimblett (21-3 MMA, 5-0 UFC) will be coming off his first UFC contract next week when he faces lightweight veteran Bobby Green (32-15-1 MMA, 13-10-1 UFC) in front of his home British fans at UFC 304 in Manchester.
A win over Green would put the former Cage Warriors champion at 6-0 in UFC, which is pretty rare to begin with, but “The Buddy” recently told MMA Junkie he might leave UFC and take on some boxing matches with YouTube influencers, presumably to make more money than he's making at UFC.
What are the chances that Pimblett might decide to quit the UFC, or even MMA altogether, and move to the ever-popular sport of boxing? MMA Junkie's “Spinning Buck Creek” panel of Brian “Gose” Garcia, Mike Vaughn and host “Gorgeous” Jorge Garcia discussed it on the show's latest episode.
You can watch the UFC on ESPN 59 recap segment above, and the full episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below.
