UFC lightweight Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett was mentioned by a couple of UFC 300 winners during their post-fight interviews.  Pimblett responded to the those callouts over the weekend via YouTube video.  

"Paddy's next fight will hopefully be in Manchester.  We haven't had anything confirmed yet, but we're waiting to hear about it," said Pimblett's coach Paul Rimmer.  "A ranked opponent would be good.  I know he's had some Top 10 guys kind of call him out, really want to fight him which we're more than happy with.  People underestimate Paddy and how good he is."  

Fifteenth-ranked Bobby Green called Pimblett out following his UFC 300 win over Jim Miller.  It's a match that Pimblett is open to.  

"Everybody wants a slice of the Baddy.  Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after it.  Didn't surprise me," Pimblett said on his YouTube channel.  "He might be ranked but he's got no followers and he needs me.  Just like everyone else, they want to fight me because they know I'm the boy.  Bobby Green's an option.  If Bobby Green wants to fight, I'm there.  I'd rather fight my boy Moicano."

Tenth-ranked lightweight Renato Moicano also called out Pimblett after his UFC 300 win over Jalin Turner.    

"Where you at Renato," Pimblett said.  "I don't even dislike Renato Moicanano.  I actually like him.  He's a funny guy.  He's a cool dude, so me and him having a fight would be hilarious.  The build up to to that fight would be very, very funny.  I think it would be even funnier if me and him done a season of The Ultimate Fighter.  That would be 6, 7, 8 weeks of pure comedy for the fans.  So I'd love that.  I'd love that to be honest."
