Will We See McGregor Vs. Pimblett?

While McGregor was filmed partying in a Liverpool treehouse that year and was reportedly searching for Pimblett, the Scouser has previously debunked the claim that he was “hiding.” Pimblett clarified that McGregor had simply knocked on the wrong door in the neighborhood. 

“He was meant to have turned up at my house, but he turned up at the wrong door. He was on a mad bender years ago in Liverpool, there was videos of him in a treehouse was with another Scouser at the time.

“My mum had a camera, not a ring doorbell, so obviously I rang my mum and said ‘check the cameras there, because if McGregor’s knocked at our house it’s getting videoed and put on my Instagram immediately’ but he never. I wish he did because I would have been like ‘Yes Con, what’s happening are we going for a bevvy?,” Pimblett said 

Who Would Win?

Conor would likely utilize a wide stance to maintain distance, looking to lure Pimblett into a “trap”. McGregor’s objective would be to capitalize on Pimblett’s tendency to leave his chin exposed and hands down when entering striking range. Much like his early career wins, Conor would aim to time Pimblett’s lunging entries with a pull-back left-hand counter. McGregor would force “The Baddy” to cover significant ground, creating the openings Conor needs for his shots.

Paddy’s clearest path to victory involves closing the distance safely and forcing a “messy” fight. He thrives in transitions and scrambles, where he can use his superior back game and submission setups. Following his 2025 victory over Michael Chandler, where he secured a TKO after a successful takedown and ground-and-pound, Paddy would likely look to replicate that pressure against McGregor.
