Paddy Pimblett mocks Renato Moicano after UFC 311 title fight loss: ‘You tapped after like 2 seconds’
Polarizing lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett has poked fun at arch-rival, Renato Moicano following his one-sided submission loss at UFC 311 over the weekend in a short-notice pairing with champion, Islam Makhachev — claiming he would choke the Brazilian out if they ever fought.
Taking headlining honors on just a day’s notice at UFC 311 over the weekend, Brasilia fan-favorite, Moicano dropped a dominant opening round D’Arce choke submission loss to pound-for-pound number one, Makhachev in an impromptu title pairing.
Initially scheduled to take on veteran contender, Beneil Dariush in a main card showdown, Moicano replaced an injury-stricken, Arman Tsarukyan who suffered a back injury whilst cutting weight in the early hours of Friday morning.
And receiving flak from long-time rival, Pimblett who has been continually linked with a pairing against the Brazilian, Moicano’s submission loss to the Russian was the subject of mockery from the Scouse contender.

“I’m not talking sh*t Renato (Moicano),” Paddy Pimblett posted on his official X account. “I’m talking facts u tapped after like 2 seconds like a b*tch only chance you’ll ever get to be a @ufc world champ & u quit like an absolute sausage! I’d make u quit just like Islam (Makhachev) did you.”
I won’t need judges for you they’ll have the night off if we fight just make sure you don’t tap when I choke u,” Paddy Pimblett posted in a follow up tweet.
Himself sidelined since last summer, Pimblett most recently extended his winning run in the Octagon to eight straight fights with a dominant triangle choke submission win over veteran lightweight striker, King Green.
