WATCH: Paddy Pimblett accidentally drops a little person with front kick while enacting 'This is Sparta' scene

UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett has enjoyed a solid start to life inside the octagon with four straight wins. All his successes have come at lightweight, but his most recent training encounter came against an opponent much smaller than his usual competition.

Pimblett features in a recent video uploaded by American YouTuber Danny Duncan. The YouTuber met up with Pimblett at his gym and trained together with his friends, including content creator Kewon Vines.

While the group was having their fun, Pimblett and Kewon got together to recreate a scene from the popular movie '300'. However, the recreation was a tad overdone as Pimblett kicked the training pad held by Kewon harder than he realized. It sent the smaller man sprawling behind, although there seemed to be no malice in the kick.

'The Baddy' first asked Kewon if he was down for it:

"Do you want it? This is Sparta, do you want it?"

Right after unwittingly kicking Kewon into oblivion, Pimblett went over and apologized. Kewon was visibly shaken but took it well:

"Oh sh*t! [laughs]"

A fan also took a dig at Pimblett, challenging him to recreate the strike inside the octagon in a fight setting without exposing his chin:

"Too bad he can't do that in a fight without his chin in the air"
