Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett has posted a video of himself fighting off ‘an internet troll’ after receiving criticism online.
After ‘a week or two’ of comments on Pimblett’s social media from a fan, the UFC star offered him a £500 reward if he could ‘survive’ unlimited rounds in the gym with him.
Surprisingly, the ‘troll’ accepted the fight and stepped into the Octagon with a man who has won his last six UFC fights and recently knocked out 10 US Marines in a row.

Pimblett’s rookie opponent was clearly nervous from the start, but ‘The Baddy’ went pretty easy on him, landing some soft punches and kicks before they were done.
In the end, the ‘troll’ did more damage to himself than his opponent, as he seemed to pull something while going for a kick in his first round.
They fought three rounds before a kick to his side caused the challenger to call the session timeout.
Despite his opponent’s earlier comments online, Pimblett offered him a hug after the fight and said he has “great respect” for a non-fighter who was willing to fight him.
The UFC star went easy on his opponent, who joked that he should ‘go to the hospital’ afterwards.
“I’ve been asking other MMA fighters to come train me and they’re all scared, and you’ve never walked in an MMA gym in your life, and you fell,” he said.
The ‘troll’ apologized to Pimblett for his earlier comments online, adding that he felt he should ‘go to the hospital’ after the light beating he received.
He did not get his £500 reward after ending the session early, but he did receive £50 for his efforts.
When he’s not fighting the fans, Pimblett faces a big 2023 as he looks to fight his way to a title shot.
He still seems to be finding his level in the UFC, but a character of his magnitude will never fail to attract fans.
