Without Jiri Prochazka e Glover Teixeira, Paddy Pimblett left humility aside and stated that he will be the main attraction of the UFC 282, which will take place on December 10th. In an official interview with Ultimate's European profile, the English prospect celebrated his first participation in a numbered event and stated that, regardless of his position on the card, the public in Las Vegas (USA) will have their eyes on him.

“I was already people's 'main event' anyway. But obviously being part of the co-main event is a privilege, so I can't wait to put on a show for everyone. I know a lot of people will just be there to watch me. I'm the main attraction, simple as that. Even when he would have a fight without so much prominence on the card. Now that I'm the co-main event, I'm the main attraction. I feel sorry for the other people on the card, because all the attention will be on me. What can I do?” Pimblett said.
