Whilst there’s some clear animosity between King Green and his upcoming opponent, Paddy Pimblett ahead of UFC 304 – the Liverpool native was nothing but courteous with common-opponent, Jared Gordon during a chance encounter in an elevator at the fighter hotel.
Pimblett, who is hoping to crack the lightweight top-15 this week ahead of his battle with striking phenom, Green on the main card of their UFC 304 battle, has so-far enjoyed an impressive winning spree since his landing in the Octagon following Cage Warriors title success.

Last time out, the outspoken Huyton native landed a one-sided unanimous decision win over another common-foe, former interim champion, Tony Ferguson at UFC 296 back in December of last year.
The victory came as Pimblett’s return to action following a prior unanimous decision win in hugely-controversial circumstances against the above-mentioned Gordon the year prior, to much fan and pundit dismay collectively.

And running into the East Coast favorite this week during UFC 304 fight week, Pimblett admitted to Gordon that he likely should have received the judge’s nod that night in their lightweight scrap, something the latter wholeheartedly agreed with.
“Always a pleasure running into my man, Jared (Gordon),” Paddy Pimblett wrote in a caption on his official Tik Tok account.
Set to receive his own pair of orange-colored shorts – reminiscent of his time during this gold-laden tenure with Cage Warriors, Pimblett mocked Green for spending so long under the banner of the UFC without ever receiving his own custom fight wear.
