White: "Pimblett reminds me of a young McGregor."

UFC head Dana White shared his opinion on lightweight division prospect Paddy Pimblett.

"He reminds me of Conor when he first started. Back then, too, everyone was like, 'Oh, Conor's not that good.' It's just hype and stuff.' And these guys say the opposite every time they fight. Everybody keeps doubting Paddy. Everybody keeps saying he's not that good. A lot of people keep calling him out and wanting to fight him. But after what he did to Bobby Green, it's hard to disagree that he's not a tough guy. Plus he's funny and he's fun to be with," White told Jim Rome.

Recall that on July 27 at UFC 304 in Manchester, UK, Pimblett won an early decision over King Green.
