Paddy Pimblett was recently in attendance at Anfield to show support to his home team Liverpool FC for their match against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League. During an interview on the pitch, 'The Baddy' revealed his plans to bring the UFC to the iconic stadium one day.

Not only is Pimblett sure of a UFC event at Anfield, he also predicts it'll happen within the next five years. He told Reshmin Chowdhury of BT Sports:

"I know I'm gonna bring it here. I know I'm gonna eventually fight here [Anfield]. You know what I mean, I have visualized it. I've imagined it over the years and now it's getting closer and closer to happening. I know full well it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen over the next five years."

"Jürgen Klopp. He's the man, he's the messiah."

"I think we slap Inter Milan around the pitch and win 3-0."

"I know I'm going to eventually fight at Anfield!"

Pimblett showed up to the match sporting a hoodie with a picture of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. While 'The Baddy' had predicted a 3-0 victory for Liverpool on the night, it was Inter Milan who scored the lone goal and came away with the win.

Pimblett also believes his name, by itself, is enough to sell out famous venues like the O2 Arena and Wembley Stadium in London. Speaking on his ability to attract eyeballs, the Brit further told Reshmin Chowdhury:

"First [time] the UFC have been back in London for three years. And it's the first ever time they've had 'Paddy the Baddy' on the card. So it's gonna be unbelievable. That's why the tickets sold out in two minutes. I could sell out the O2 on me own. I could sell out Wembley."

Pimblett will likely feature on the main card of the upcoming UFC London event. The fight card will be headlined by a heavyweight showdown between Tom Aspinall and Alexander Volkov. The co-main event sees Arnold Allen take on Dan Hooker.
