Paddy Pimblett

• FCC and Cage Warriors featherweight champion. Three-times UFC Performance of the night award winner. Pimblett achieved a 1st degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
• 24 fights, 21 wins, 3 defeats.

Before his bout against Tony Ferguson Paddy had changed his haircut. Known for his longer hair and old-style combed look, Paddy decided to dramatically change his style. When explaining his decision, Pimblett said that long hair will no longer get into his eyes, giving him sort of a tactical advantage.

Pimblett is very likely to start the upcoming fight with heavy low kicks and jabs. If Green gets too close, Paddy may land a decent high-kick and a right cross. He is also expected to unload front kicks and side kicks to destabilise the opponent. In the beginning of the bout Paddy may move away from the center of the octagon, but later he might launch a quick attack.

After a series of kicks Pimblett may catch Green’s leg, taking him further away from the cage fence and trying to make a takedown. Paddy will try to bend Bobby over and go for a rear naked choke or guillotine. In the third round, Pimblett will be fresher, which will allow him to stop the American on the ground or control him until the end of the fight.

Bobby Green

• King of the Cage, TFA and WFC lightweight champion. Three-times winner of the UFC Performance of the night award. He is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
• 49 fights, 32 wins, 15 defeats, 1 draw and 1 n/c.

Green competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship for 11 years. Even now, in the age of 37, he is ready to impress the public. A year ago he knocked out Grant Dawson in just 35 seconds. Nine fighters before Green couldn’t have done that. Green’s fighting style is active, unique and unconventional. He is well-known for his fast attacks. Be sure that he will be trying to provoke Pimblett to attack and make subsequent mistakes in the octagon. 

Bobby will start getting closer to Paddy, landing left jabs and side kicks. Sometimes Green is expected to rise his hands to make deceptive movements to then land unexpected head strikes. Bobby will constantly target opponent’s shin and hit his body with middle-kicks. When Paddy tries to attack, Green will meet him with a power hook or a roundhouse kick. 

The American is good in wrestling, but he will do his bet to continue the most part of the bout standing. To do this, he will constantly move, approaching the opponent with a series of strikes and then moving back to the cage. If Bobby gets caught in a grip, he will try to push the opponent and then make a takedown to finish the fight.

Pimblett vs Green prediction

Usually Green tries to mislead the opponent by making deceptive movements to then be able to shorten the distance and make a sudden attack. It is not that easy to stick to this plan with Pimblett, as he always pushes the opponent away and can make a fast attack in the first seconds of a bout.

If this fight lasts longer than 5 minutes, then the first two rounds are most likely to take place standing. Pimblett can win at least one of the rounds using his chaotic and fast punches. This tactic may result in a takedown when Green gets tired and looses concentration. So, my favourite in this bout is Pimblett.

I think that in this bout you can bet on under 1.5, as both fighters are motivated to finish this bout fast and often lack effective head protection.

Our prediction: Pimblett to win and under 1.5
