UFC star Paddy Pimblett has FINALLY responded to Logan Paul's challenge as he ruthlessly slammed the WWE athlete.
Pimblett has recorded four wins in four fights since he signed for the UFC, most recently outpointing Jared Gordon last December.
A host of established UFC fighters have called out the Liverpool man - as well as people outside of the promotion.
Paul, who has forged a career in the WWE and boxed Floyd Mayweather, called out the 28-year-old to an MMA fight on the undercard of the proposed clash between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

"If Elon Musk and Eric [sic] Zuckerberg fight, I will do my UFC debut on the undercard for free. I’ll fight for free for charity," he said.
The American added: "Anyone. You know who I want to fight, actually, because that bitch-ass Andrew Tate won’t fight me? Give me Paddy Pimblett - give me Paddy the Baddy. In the off-season, that boy looks like a blimp, and he’ll come up to my weight class and I’ll wallop him."
Pimblett has finally responded to Paul's challenge, calling it a 'publicity stunt' in a ruthless assessment.
"I’m sure he said he’d fight for free as well?" He said.
"I’ll take his wages then. I’ll fight for his wages and my own. Of course, it’s a publicity stunt. But it works well for me because I’m not fighting and people are still talking about me."
The 20-3 fighter continued: "That shows I’m doing everything right. I haven’t fought in over 6-7 months, and people are still talking about me, I’m not even ranked.
"But I’m still the name on the tip of everyone’s tongue."
Pimblett is sidelined until late 2023, having undergone surgery on his damaged ankle, which he sustained in his victory at UFC 282 last year.
