<\/p>\nRonda Rousey reveals which UFC fighter she wants to poach for MVP MMA<\/p>\n
When news broke that Ronda Rousey would be returning to MMA under Jake Paul\u2019s MVP banner rather than the UFC, it caught many people off guard.<\/p>\n

The former champion hasn\u2019t held back in her criticism of her old organisation either, recently claiming that the MVP MMA 1 Netflix event is superior to the upcoming UFC White House card.<\/p>\n
And despite her continuous criticism of the UFC\u2019s recent practices, there is one current star she would like to poach for her new promotion.<\/p>\n

During the second MVP MMA press conference earlier this month, Rousey threw a few comments Paddy Pimblett\u2019s way while having a go at Kayla Harrison.<\/p>\n

Still, despite the offhand remark, it has come out that if Rousey had the chance to bring one UFC fighter over to MVP MMA, she\u2019d pick \u2018The Baddy\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was talking to Ronda and I asked her if there was one person on the UFC roster that she could poach and bring over to MVP, she said Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019,\u201d Matt Welty of Complex told Jake Paul during a recent interview.<\/p>\n
Pimblett is still working through his interim lightweight title loss earlier this year against Justin Gaethje. That defeat cost him the headline spot at the UFC White House event against Ilia Topuria.<\/p>\n

The Brit is expected back in action on July 11 at UFC 329 during International Fight Week. The card will reportedly be headlined by Conor McGregor\u2019s return to MMA. And earlier this week, Paddy seemed to confirm that he\u2019ll be facing Benoit Saint-Denis as he looks to bounce back into contention.<\/p>\n
