Paddy Pimblett Offered Role In Hit Series

Paddy Pimblett may be heading to Hollywood, with Dana White revealing that producers from Paramount+ crime drama MobLand contacted him the morning after UFC 329 to inquire about the fighter.

Pimblett submitted Benoit Saint Denis in 52 seconds at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, appearing on the co-main event beneath Conor McGregor’s return against Max Holloway. The performance generated enough buzz to land on the radar of the MobLand production team — a show starring Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.

“I’m lying in bed and my phone starts ringing the next day on Sunday. It’s the producers of MobLand. They’re like, ‘We want Paddy Pimblett.’ Isn’t that great? I hope he does it,” White

White did not confirm whether Pimblett had received a formal offer, accepted a role or entered active negotiations with the producers.
