Rising UFC star Paddy Pimblett has revealed who from the celebrity world he would like to fight. 

After spending a year recovering from an ankle injury, Pimblett will now look to continue his rise through the UFC's lightweight rankings when he takes on veteran Tony Ferguson at UFC 296 on Saturday. 

Pimblett is quickly becoming a fan's favourite due to his electric personality and in a recent interview with British GQ, the Liverpool man revealed his dream opponent if he was to fight a celebrity along with picking a tag team partner for the fantasy matchup. 

"If I could choose any celebrity to fight, me and Elon [Musk] are beating Mark Zuckerberg up, aren’t we?" Pimblett said. 

“Know what I’m sayin’. I’ll be there in Elon’s corner, so we can muff the Zuck.”

Pimblett is not the only British fighter appearing on Saturday's card with UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards featuring in the main event against the outspoken Colby Covington.
