Paddy Pimblett wants to fight Conor McGregor at Wembley Stadium next 🇬🇧⚔️🇮🇪
Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett has never been one to shy away from the spotlight.
With his wild hair, infectious charisma, and undeniable talent inside the octagon, he’s quickly become one of the UFC’s most popular and polarizing figures. Now, the Liverpool native has set his sights on the biggest fight—and biggest stage—of his career: a showdown with Conor McGregor at Wembley Stadium.
Yes, you read that right. Pimblett has called out the “Notorious” Conor McGregor, aiming for nothing less than a historic clash between two of the most flamboyant, entertaining, and outspoken fighters the UFC has ever seen. And he wants it to happen in the heart of the UK—at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium.
The idea of a Pimblett vs. McGregor fight might sound wild to some, but for fans of both fighters, it’s a dream matchup. Both are known not just for their fighting skills, but for their ability to hype a fight, sell out arenas, and keep fans glued to the screen from weigh-ins to post-fight interviews. With their magnetic personalities and passionate fanbases—Pimblett’s Liverpudlian army and McGregor’s Irish legion—the energy at Wembley would be nothing short of electric.
“Imagine the scenes,” Pimblett said in a recent interview. “Me and Conor in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley. It would be the biggest event in UFC history. UK vs. Ireland, scouser vs. Dubliner. The atmosphere would be unreal.”
While some may scoff at Pimblett’s ambitions, he’s not entirely out of line. The 29-year-old lightweight has racked up wins in the UFC, showcasing slick submissions, fierce ground control, and an iron will. And while critics have questioned the caliber of his opponents, Paddy remains undefeated in the UFC and continues to grow in popularity.
McGregor, on the other hand, has been away from competition since his leg injury against Dustin Poirier in 2021. He’s hinted at a return multiple times and is currently scheduled to face Michael Chandler—though that fight has been repeatedly delayed. Whether or not McGregor would consider Pimblett a worthy opponent remains to be seen, but if there’s one thing McGregor has always loved, it’s a blockbuster event. And fighting in Wembley would be just that.
The potential for this clash isn’t just about hype—it’s about legacy. For McGregor, it’s a chance to cement his return with another historic moment. For Pimblett, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime: to go from rising star to international superstar overnight.
Of course, the UFC would have to get on board. Wembley Stadium has never hosted a UFC event, and logistically, it would require a massive undertaking. But if Dana White loves anything, it’s spectacle—and this would be one for the ages.
Whether or not the fight comes to fruition, one thing is clear: Paddy Pimblett dreams big. And with the roar of 90,000 fans echoing in his ears, he may just manifest the biggest fight the UK has ever seen.
