At the recently concluded football match, Mohamed Salah's late equalizer secured a 2-2 draw for Liverpool against an injury-hit Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal took the lead twice, with early goals from Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino.
But Liverpool responded each time, with Virgil van Dijk scoring the first equalizer and Salah netting a decisive goal from Darwin Nunez's pass nine minutes before the final whistle.
Meanwhile, Pimblett improved his UFC record to 6-0 earlier this year in July with a submission win against King Green at UFC 304. The 29-year-old claimed that he would like to test himself against Renato Moicano, who recently secured a TKO victory over Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC Paris.
