Paddy Pimblett plans to be in Jack Della Maddalena’s corner, figuratively speaking.
Della Maddalena will defend his undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight crown against Islam Makhachev in the UFC 322 main event on Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York. While Pimblett isn’t sure how the fight will play out, he’s rooting for Della Maddalena. “The Baddy” believes Della Maddalena can definitely outclass Makhachev if the fight stays on the feet.
Pimblett isn’t rooting against Makhachev without cause. Ilia Topuria won the vacant UFC lightweight title after the Russian vacated the 155-pound throne to move up in weight.
