UFC star Paddy Pimblett wants to fight Mike Tyson after Logan Paul YouTube\/UFC\/Instagram\/MikeTyson\/LoganPaulMove over, Logan Paul! Rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett wants to be next in line to duke it out with \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson now that the boxing legend has returned to the ring. Ever since Mike Tyson stepped back into the world of boxing to battle it out with Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout, the combat sports world has been wondering who he will fight next. Reports have indicated that his next opponent could very well be YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul, who has shown more interest in taking on the 55-year-old ever since many in the industry, such as Joe Rogan, predicted Tyson over him. However, Logan Paul isn\u2019t the only one hoping for a fight against the legend, as mixed martial artist Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett expressed interest in a possible match in a video with Barstool Sports. Paddy Pimblett vs Mike Tyson? During a chat with Barstool Sports, he was asked about if he would be down to fight Mike Tyson and in typical Pimblett style, his answer didn\u2019t disappoint. \u201cHe\u2019s like fifty-something now. I would fight him. I mean, he can box. Obviously, he can punch my f**king head right in,\u201d he remarked, but teased he could have an advantage with his UFC skills. \u201cBut he doesn\u2019t know when it\u2019s coming when I shoot him. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a boxing match.\u201d To follow that up, he promised he would drop Mike right on his head, but noted it would be an \u201chonor\u201d to step into the ring with one of the all-time greats and would be down for an exhibition match. (Segment begins at 3:40) View this post on Instagram \u201cThat would be sick,\u201d he said. \u201cIt would just be an honor. It\u2019s Mike Tyson!\u201d While it\u2019s doubtful that Pimblett can jump in front of Logan Paul and fight Tyson very soon, it\u2019s interesting to note that he also expressed a desire to fight The Maverick\u2019s brother Jake Paul. Back in September, Paddy called The Problem Child a \u201csausage\u201d and stated he would be willing to fight (and beat) him \u201ctomorrow,\u201d adding that it was embarrassing that he beat ex UFC champion Tyron Woodley. Whether or not Pimblett does in fact end up fighting either Jake or Tyson remains to be seen, but hopefully, we end up seeing either at some point in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
