Paddy Pimblett very skilled at defending punches with his chin, jokes Terrance McKinney in new call-out
UFC fighter Terrance McKinney was not short of words when 'The Schmo' asked him his opinion on Paddy Pimblett's controversial win against Jared Gordon at UFC 282.
The American let out his sarcastic side, saying he was very impressed with how skillfully the Scouser was able to defend punches with his strong chin. The 28-year-old added that the Englishman's iron chin probably hurt 'Flash's' fists:
"Yeah man, I like the way he defends the punches with his chin and the dude is incredible. Look how powerful that chin is man. I think it probably hurt Jared's fists... Straight up, I have to give him his credit, he is excellent at taking punches, very skilled."
McKinney didn't stop there and took the opportunity to call out Pimblett for a 2023 clash. 'T.Wrecks' explained that he would handily defeat "Paddy The Saddy" in a fight:
"I think the clash has to happen, you guys. 2023, Terrance McKinney vs. Paddy 'The Saddy' after I whoop his a**."

Chael Sonnen says UFC 282 controversy might be good for Paddy Pimblett
In a recent video on Chael Sonnen's YouTube channel, the former UFC fighter opined that Paddy Pimblett's controversial win against Jared Gordon might be a boon for the Englishman.
The 45-year-old feels that the massive attention on 'The Baddy' in the wake of the UFC 282 controversy might help in raising his popularity:
"If a fight is over, on the back end of it, whoever was part of that card that gets talked about the most wins... Paddy is being talked about more than anybody, Paddy wins. That's how this works if you're talking about stock, if you're talking about rising, if you're talking about star power and drawability. That's how it works."
