PADDY CHIN IT TO WIN IT

“YOU know my saying, lad.

- BY GARY HITCHCOCK

‘I am a Scouser... we don't get knocked out’. I can take that s*** all day’

Paddy Pimblett’s now-famous mantra appeared to be hyperbole after making a winning UFC debut at the Apex in Las Vegas in 2021, but getting clipped by the little-known Luigi Vendramini in the process.

Now the Liverpool star and his still KO-free chin face their toughest test tonight when he takes on veteran Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight crown at UFC 324 at Sin City’s T-Mobile Arena.
