MMA star Paddy Pimblett vows to teabag UFC London opponent \u201clike it\u2019s Modern Warfare 2\u201d YouTube: UFC \/ ActivisionRising MMA star Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett has promised to teabag his next opponent as only an experienced Call of Duty trash talker would, after his fight at the upcoming UFC London event on July 23. As one of the fastest-growing fighters on the UFC roster today, Liverpool\u2019s own Paddy Pimblett has made a name for himself both in the octagon and online. While his 18-3 record speaks for itself, he\u2019s never one to shy away from the microphone. Having called out the likes of Logan Paul, Mike Tyson, and even Mark Zuckerberg in recent weeks, Pimblett clearly fears no man. But before he gets to social media celebs or Fortune 500 CEOs, his next opponent is just days away. Following a historic night at the 02 Arena on March 19, the UFC is back in London for Fight Night 208: Blaydes vs Aspinall. Set to take on 10-1 American Jordan Leavitt, the trash talk has quickly been heating up. Now, Pimblett has vowed to make another viral moment should he win, by teabagging his challenger. Amusingly known for dancing, doing the splits, and occasionally twerking after his violent fights, Leavitt has joked he\u2019ll do the same after upsetting Pimblett in his hometown. Addressing these twerk-based threats at the pre-fight press conference, Pimblett called him \u201ca little weirdo. But no one can out-weird me. I\u2019m weirder than anyone.\u201d Perhaps proving just that, he then went on to explain what post-fight antics he\u2019s got in mind after a possible win. \u201cI\u2019m gonna teabag him,\u201d he told The Mac Life. \u201cI\u2019m gonna teabag him like it\u2019s Modern Warfare 2.\u201d Filling in the blanks for the non-gaming crowd, he explained the art of teabagging in detail. \u201cI\u2019m gonna squat as close as I possibly can to his head without the ref shouting at me. Just squat up and down like I\u2019m on Modern Warfare 2.\u201d Yet to have a fight in the UFC go beyond the first round, Pimblett has certainly backed up his trash talking to this point. But with his toughest challenge in front of him, there\u2019s plenty of work to be done before the classic gaming rib can be realized. We\u2019ve seen everything from anime-inspired antics with Israel Adesanya to Michael \u2018MVP\u2019 Page\u2019s Pokemon knockout celebration. But should Pimblett win come July 23, he\u2019d make history with the first teabag inside the octagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
