Paddy Pimblett dismissed Mateusz Gamrot before he was even called out by him.
After Gamrot (26-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) submitted Esteban Ribovics (15-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) during Saturday’s UFC 327 prelims, Pimblett (23-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was one of the names he expressed interest in fighting.

While doing a UFC 327 watch-along on his YouTube channel, Pimblett was surprised to see that Gamrot was on the card.
“Wow, is this Gamrot fighting? Who’s he fighting? I didn’t even know Gamrot was fighting,” Pimblett said. “No one gives a f*ck about him. You knows what’s mad? He’s ranked (No.) 8 and he’s fighting on the f*cking prelims. Is this Ribovics ranked? This is Gamrot’s second fight in three fights that he’s fighting someone unranked and he’s in the top 10. Generally just shows that nobody cares about him.”
Gamrot called out Pimblett, Diego Lopes, Benoit Saint Denis, and Arman Tsarukyan after the win.
“What is it? Is it Gamrot (No.) 8, Hooker 7, me 6? He might go above (Dan) Hooker with that,” Pimblett said. “If you’re Gamrot, you probably want to get that win back off Hooker. If I’m Gamrot, I’m calling Arman out because he’s beaten him.”
