“I could smoke you much easier” - Paddy Pimblett calls out Renato Moicano while rejecting potential Drew Dober clash

UFC lightweight contender Renato Moicano recently attempted to pit rising prospect Paddy Pimblett against No.15-ranked Drew Dober, and he received a prompt response from the Liverpool native.

Moicano took on Dober in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Dolidze vs Imavov this past weekend. The Brazilian ultimately took the unanimous decision victory but was all praise for his opponent post-fight.

In a post on X, Moicano wrote that he would like to see Dober take on Pimblett, who is undefeated in his five outings in the UFC octagon:

"I want to see Drew Dober fighting paddy pimblett next… let’s see how tough is this kid…."

Pimblett hit back on his Instagram Stories and alternatively suggested a fight against Moicano himself. 'The Baddy' claimed that he would easily get the better of the Brazilian instead of having to prove himself against Dober.

"WHY WOULD I FIGHT DOBER WHEN I COULD SMOKE U MUCH EASIER? @RENATO MOICANO UFC"
