Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett has quickly emerged in Mixed Martial Arts as somewhat of a scouse Connor McGregor. The fast-talking Liverpudlian is twice a Cage Warriors Champion, in both Lightweight and Featherweight, but when he's not mixing it up in the UFC Octagon, or running his mouth in press conferences, he's apparently quite a heavyweight at Call of Duty.
With a record of 18 wins and three losses at the age of 27, Paddy the Baddy has earned himself quite the reputation for being able to back up his trash talk with performances. But he also excels in the content game too. Having recently taken up Twitch streaming and vlogging alongside his "Chatting Pony" Podcast, Pimblett has shown he's quite the avid gamer in his downtime.
Now, as his training is in full swing before a crucial fight with 10-1 American Jordan Leavitt on July 23, the Liverpool-born fighter has vowed to pull off some Modern Warfare 2 moves after he's won.
Paddy The Baddy Vows To 'Teabag' Jordan Leavitt In UFC Fight
Pimblett's links to the Call of Duty universe are strong, having been a keen gamer in his youth and continuing to stay relevant by taking up arms with fellow home-time Warzone mogul Liam "Jukeyz" James earlier this year.
Although his focus is now fully committed to his upcoming fight, Paddy the Baddy is also looking forward to Modern Warfare 2, and has now claimed that he will 'teabag' his opponent in celebration of a win to pay homage to the game.
After his opponent claimed that he will copy Paddy's usual Twerking celebrations, Pimblett immediately hit back by saying he's "a little weirdo. But no one can out-weird me. I’m weirder than anyone."
"I'm going to Teabag him. I'm going to Teabag him like it's Modern Warfare 2," he said in a pre-fight conference. "I'm going to squat as close to his head as I possibly can without the ref shouting at me. I'm going to squat up and down like I'm on Modern Warfare 2."
Pimblett vs Leavitt is Paddy's biggest test yet, given the American has only lost one fight to date through a points decision, and has never been knocked out or submitted in a professional fight.
Paddy the Baddy will be on the fourth fight on the main card for UFC 208, where he will have to work harder than ever before to be able to pull off his gaming jibe.
