Paddy Pimblett calls out Mark Zuckerberg for next fight after UFC London victory

Paddy Pimblett has called out Facebook and Instagram CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a customarily entertaining post-fight interview.

Pimblett spoke after his emphatic victory over Rodrigo 'Kazula' Varga s at UFC London, where he forced Mexican into submission with a beautiful rear naked choke.

It was the second time that Pimblett has fought in the UFC after his debut win over Luigi Vendramini in September and he secured another first-round win.

Like the first fight, Pimblett took a big shot to the face, with Vargas going for the take down and looking for the ground and pound.

But Pimblett used his excellence in Judo and BJJ to take Vargas down with a hip toss and locking in a rear naked choke, locking it in tight giving Vargas no choice but to tap.

Ffter the fight, Pimblett was asked who he'd like to fight next - giving a brilliant response.

Pimblett said: "Who do I want to fight? Mark Zuckerberg.

"Lad I'm going to punch your head in, I am sick of you. Sick of you shutting my Instagram accounts down when all I do is help charities and help people with mental health problems.

"You're the biggest bully in the world, lad."

On his win, Pimblett said: "Are you not entertained? I'm never ever in a boring fight, lad.

"I needed a punch to get woken up. That was only a five or six out of ten, he caught me with a nice punch."
