Episode Description

Paddy Pimblett is the most electric lightweight on earth and he spends his off-season eating like a pro bowler...

If you don’t follow fighting, here’s who’s sitting across from Jeremy. Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett is a Scouser from Liverpool, 8-1 in the UFC and 24-4 overall, currently ranked number five at lightweight. This July he choked out Benoît Saint Denis in 52 seconds. He is also the least athlete-like athlete in the sport — the hair has its own fanbase, the accent is unfiltered, he balloons between camps and doesn’t apologize for it, and after a win in London he used his post-fight interview to talk about a friend he’d lost to suicide and tell men to pick up the phone instead. That’s the thing about Paddy: people who don’t care about MMA care about Paddy. He and Jeremy are two guys who became famous for being exactly who they already were, and this is what that sounds like.
