Paddy Pimblett doesn’t think he’s far behind Charles Oliveira in grappling
Paddy Pimblett would like to prove that Charles Oliveira’s grappling isn’t levels above his own.
Oliveira challenged Max Holloway for the BMF belt in the main event at UFC 326 on Saturday. Oliveira controlled Holloway on the ground for over 20 minutes to earn a dominant unanimous decision victory. Reacting to the fight, Pimblett says he would love the opportunity to fight Oliveira. While fans might consider Oliveira’s grappling to be on a different level than Pimblett’s, “The Baddy” knows that’s not the case. Pimblett believes he will end up having a striking battle with Oliveira if they fight.
The Same Level?
