After all, Pimblett\u2019s submission win came in the co-main event on a Conor McGregor-led fight card. It doesn\u2019t get any bigger than that unless Pimblett had defeated \u201cNotorious\u201d himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In any case, it appears big things are on the horizon for Pimblett, who is easily one of UFC\u2019s biggest stars right now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Earlier this week, UFC CEO Dana White sat down with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s-zHl-Cp8RY\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spinnin Backfist<\/a> to discuss a multitude of topics. Pimblett\u2019s name was eventually brought up and White confirmed that \u201cBaddy\u201d is in fact one of the biggest names the promotion has right now. Furthermore, White revealed that the producers of the hit show, MobLand, reached out to him after UFC 329 and requested the acting services of Pimblett.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Check it out below and let us know your thoughts!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cSo I\u2019m laying in bed, my phone starts ringing and it\u2019s the producers of MobLand, they\u2019re like we want Paddy Pimblett,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paddy Pimblett delivered his biggest Octagon performance to date with a stunning submission finish over Benoit Saint Denis&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":810964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,82,241021,702],"class_list":["post-810963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-329","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=810963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/810964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=810963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=810963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=810963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
