UFC President **Dana White** drew a comparison between the fifth-ranked lightweight fighter from England, **Paddy Pimblett**, and former two-division UFC champion from Ireland, **Conor McGregor**, highlighting their similar allure and the way people perceive them.

“Paddy reminds me of Conor’s story. Both entered the league with remarkable charisma and were often underestimated. Whenever they fought, there was a prevailing belief that they would lose. However, Paddy has faced even more skepticism about his chances than Conor did. Every time Pimblett steps into the octagon, he’s seen as the underdog, and many doubt his ability to win,” White remarked, as reported by Bloody Elbow.
