The number five ranked fighter in the UFC lightweight division, Englishman Paddy Pimblett, assessed the play of Argentina national team forward Lionel Messi and Portugal national team forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
Paddy Pimblett in an interview with IShowSpeed
I'm not really a Messi fan, Actually Messi is just better player than Ronaldo. Anyone with a set of eyes can see Messi plays perfect football.
It was previously announced that Justin Gaethje and Pimblett will fight for the interim lightweight title on January 24th at UFC 324.
Pimblett last stepped into the octagon in April 2025 at UFC 314, defeating Michael Chandler by technical knockout in the third round. He holds a record of 23 wins and three losses.
