Of course, there are plenty of options out there for him – one of which is a battle against Conor McGregor. While it may seem unlikely to some, Pimblett has made it known on many occasions that he’d be more than happy to take on the Irishman. Of course, it’s not clear as to whether or not Conor is even interested in returning to the cage at this point in time.

When asked about the possibility of heading to Hollywood in the future, Pimblett made sure to poke a bit of fun at McGregor’s own acting exploits.

Pimblett’s view on McGregor and Hollywood

“I’ve always said I want to end up in Hollywood,” he told the voice of the octagon Bruce Buffer on his podcast It’s Time. “I want to end up in films or series and stuff like that.”

“I’d definitely be a better actor than Conor if you know what I mean,” he continued.

“I’d be in a serious role, not like just playing a weird version of myself.”
