Paddy Pimblett teaches internet trolls a lesson

UFC lightweight star Paddy Pimblett has his fair share of internet trolls targeting him on social media, and recently one of them got a hard lesson.

Pimblett has been banned from Instagram a few times and from Twitter. He has an active Instagram account which has 2.5 million followers, but has had two Instagram accounts terminated.

“I can’t answer anything more,” Pimblett said during an appearance on Pub talk early December. “I can’t answer any more. I’ve had two accounts deactivated on Instagram for “bullying and harassment” when I’m the one being bullied and harassed. I just returned it…”

“I had two accounts, one with 187,000 followers got disabled. And my second account, it had almost 900,000 followers and got disabled,” Pimblett continued. “I can’t say anything back. I have to be smarter with this.

Instead of going back and forth with insults potentially jeopardizing his social media accounts, Pimblett invited one of his online hecklers to his gym in Liverpool, England, to settle their differences inside the cage. Surprisingly, the internet troll appeared and Pimblett posted a video of the whole thing on his YouTube channel.

Pimblett booked his online critic a train to Liverpool and gave him props for having the courage to come. “The Baddy” offered the man $500 if he could survive. Spoiler alert: he didn’t get the money back.
