The UFC fighter who suffered the worst night of his life in Saint-Denis
Paddy Pimblett spoke to RMC Sport about how they used the Champions League final and describe it as one of the worst nights of their lives
Paddy Pimblett is a charismatic and funny UFC fighter who puts his physique on the line every night he's locked in a cage fighting his rival. An expert in martial arts and competing in lightweight, the Englishman experienced one of his worst nights on the day of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid in Saint-Denis.
He lived the final as just another spectator. Born in Liverpool, Pimblett traveled to France to support Klopp's side. In an interview in RMC Sport he confessed that he had never "been as scared" as that night. Despite fighting locked up in a cage, the Englishman argued that "at least, in a cage, it's one on one. When we left the stadium, there were groups of thirty people running. Some of them had weapons, machetes, knives, bars of iron, bats… You just had to try to escape from that place. People were thrown to the ground and their watches and belongings were stolen."
How did you manage to avoid being attacked? "I was with my uncle and friends. We decided to band together to protect ourselves. A group of Irish recognized me. There were six of them, so they started walking with us. We were lucky to be a dozen because these gangs, and I don't know if they were local but they were people who lived around Saint-Denis, these gangs looked at us and when they saw how many we were, they didn't come to bother us".
The worst thing he experienced on Saturday night. "There were people running around with machetes. I've been repeating it for a few days: the only thing I can compare this to is the movie American Nightmare. There were no more laws, you could do whatever you wanted."
Interior Minister Gérarld Darmaind accused Liverpool fans. "A total and huge lie. This man should resign because he is disgusting and despicable. It is so easy to use Liverpool fans as scapegoats."
Did the stewards steal tickets from some fans? "They were taking people's tickets telling them they were fake when they weren't. I think that's what happened to Andy Robertson and his friend who he gave a ticket to. I've never experienced something like that".

There wouldn't be any shootings. Criminals prey on the weak. They don't prey on the strong.
Anyway, my point was this is even more evidence that the police - whether American, French, etc. - don't exist to protect civilians. They will sit back and allow predators to be predators if they fear they'll be harmed.

Paddy Pimplett's account (UFC fighter). Very difficult accent, but he was saying it was like the movie "The Purge".

This is what happens when you import the third world and allow low iq, criminals in who act on their criminalistic impulses.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
- H.P. Lovecraft
