Watch MF & DAZN: X Series 17 on August 31
Paddy Pimblett would love to headline a UFC card at Anfield, and he knows exactly which Liverpool legends he'd have by his side as he walks to the Octagon.
Pimblett is 6-0 since joining the UFC in 2021 and he is currently ranked No. 15 in the lightweight division.
While a headline bout may still be some time away for the Liverpudlian, that hasn't stopped him from engaging in a fun look at who he'd invite to accompany him to the cage if he were to ever fight in his home ground.
“The scousers lad!" Pimblett told Action Network when asked who he'd have next to him on a potential Anfield walkout. "[Steven] Gerrard and [Jamie] Carragher obviously!”
“But by then, some of our players who play now could be retired. So Virgil van Dijk, Virg is the man.”
