Paddy Pimblett presented a theory to explain the lack of success of the Brazilian national football team in the last World Cups. Scheduled to face Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 329 , scheduled for next Saturday (11), the Briton commented on the absence of great stars in the green and yellow team and criticized the current number 10, Neymar.
In an interview with the website 'AGFight', Pimblett assessed that Neymar is going through a bad phase and no longer performs at the same level as in the past. The fighter also opined that the early departure of Brazilian players to European football has negatively impacted the country's traditional style of play.

“Neymar is terrible right now, he’s ‘finished’. Now all the Brazilian players go to Europe young and they don’t play with the same talent they used to,” said Paddy Pimblett.
