Paddy
Pimblett isn’t a fan of fighters tattooing their own
names.
Pimblett recently took a challenge of identifying 40
UFC fighters by their tattoos. “The Baddy” guessed most
correctly, with the exception of a few like Tony
Ferguson, Kevin
Holland, and Antonio Nogueira.
Pimblett is also unimpressed by fighters who tattoo their own
names, like Conor
McGregor and Justin
Gaethje. However, the Liverpudlian rates Ilia
Topuria’s back tattoo the worst of all, as he considers it a
copy of McGregor’s. Pimblett seems to be a fan
of the Japanese art style, as his two best-rated tattoos are in
that genre. Pimblett’s favourite ones are Marvin
Vettori’s chest and sleeve tattoo and Sean Brady’s
back tattoo. Vettori’s sleeve has a samurai and a dragon drawn in
the Japanese art style. Meanwhile, Brady’s back tattoo is a
Japanese Oni (demon) which was drawn by one of his early
sponsors.
‘Are You That Stupid?’
“The worst ones are when people have their own name tattooed on
them,” Pimblett said on YouTube. “McGregor’s got that actually,
Gaethje’s got that. I just think it’s just weird. Why are you that
stupid? Do you need to remember your own name by looking in the
mirror?.. The worst one is Topuria because he copied McGregor a
little bit. [Marvin] Vettori’s one’s are decent and Sean Brady’s
one’s are decent if you’re into tattoos like that.”
