UFC star Paddy Pimblett has named Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes as the footballer he'd most like to face in the octagon.
The Liverpool fighter made an instant impression on the UFC scene earlier this month with a stunning debut triumph against Luigi Vendramini.
That performance, as well as his trash-talking, has quickly made Pimblett one of the hottest names in the sport and one to watch in the coming months.

A die-hard Liverpool fan, Pimblett has now been asked which footballer he'd most like to come up against - and supporters will like his answer.
'Paddy the Baddy' selected United midfielder Bruno Fernandes as that player, dubbing the Portuguese international to be 'overrated'.
"I'd probably pick one from each team," he told BBC's MOTDx. "But I reckon just because he's so overrated, Bruno Fernandes.
"No, he's not world-class. I don't think anyone in that United team is world-class apart from (Cristiano) Ronaldo."
Fernandes has quickly become a fan favourite at Old Trafford after scoring 44 goals in 85 appearances for the club.
Despite those returns, Pimblett is clearly not too impressed with the 27-year-old and his assessment on the rest of the team is similar, believing Ronaldo is the only player in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad who is world class.
Chelsea, Liverpool and United are currently joint-top of the Premier League with 13 points, separated by only goal difference.
Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to face United in just over a month on October 24th, with the reverse fixture at Anfield coming in March.
