Pimblett: "I'm not fighting Moicano at UFC 301"

UFC lightweight division prospect Paddy Pimblett has denied that he will cross gloves with Renato Moicano on May 4 at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro.

At the same time, the Briton noted that the next fight he plans to hold exactly against the Brazilian, but later - in June or July.

"They say I'll fight Moicano at UFC 301. No, that's not going to happen. My kids will only be two weeks old, I'm not coming out to fight that early. I won't fight until June or July. But Moicano is the one I want next. I'm coming for you," Pimblett stated on his YouTube channel.

Recall that in his last fight, Pimblett won on points against Tony Ferguson.
