UFC 325 ace targets Conor McGregor and Paddy Pimblett after $100,000 KO bonus

One of the fighters from UFC 325 used his post-fight interview to challenge two of the biggest names in the lightweight division.

Conor McGregor, who once held titles in two weight classes, is still looking for someone to face when he returns. The Irishman hopes to end his long layoff at the UFC White House event on June 16.

Over in London, Paddy Pimblett faced Justin Gaethje in a wild bout at UFC 324. While ‘The Baddy’ did not get the decision, he is still very much a part of the lightweight conversation, with plenty of fighters eager to take him on.

Mauricio Ruffy calls out Conor McGregor and Paddy Pimblett after stopping Rafael Fiziev

Ruffy delivered a highlight-reel knockout against Rafael Fiziev at UFC 325, picking up the most significant win of his career so far.

The finish came in the second round and was enough to earn him a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus.

After the fight, Ruffy took advantage of his post-fight interview to call out both Conor McGregor and Paddy Pimblett.

“Hunter (Campbell), Dana White, you see me fight and know my style,” the 29-year-old Brazilian said through an interpreter during his in-cage interview.

“How about Conor McGregor or Paddy Pimblett?”

He added: “Let me put on a show.”

Mauricio Ruffy dedicates win to late brother

Ruffy dedicated his KO win over Rafael Fiziev at UFC 325 to his brother, who tragically died by suicide.

The moment came just a week after Pimblett used his post-fight interview to deliver a mental health message.

“I just want to say to everyone, my brother used to watch me fight,” the Brazilian star began by saying.

“He was right here, I used to see him here in the crowd with me.

“He took his own life. Don’t do this. Jesus is my lord, Jesus is my savior.

“Learn about Jesus, meet Jesus, and it will save your life.”
