Download Paddy Pimblett SLAMS Arsenal Fans, Talks UFC & Merseyside Derby

Wayne Rooney sits down with Paddy Pimblett for a brutally honest chat on football, the UFC and life at the top.

Can Liverpool handle the pressure of the Merseyside Derby? Why does Paddy hate Arsenal so much? From Liverpool and Everton to Arsenal and Manchester City, they break down football’s biggest talking points - form, pressure, scouse identity, and what really matters in big games.

Wayne’s love of the fight game takes the conversation beyond football, as Paddy opens up on fight camps, setbacks, and his winning mentality - while Wayne reflects on pressure, discipline and performing at the highest level.
