Paddy Pimblett made an explosive appearance in the newest trailer for ‘Battlefield 6’.
Who would have thought the #7-ranked UFC lightweight contender would be involved in a video game franchise as massive as ‘Battlefield’ after his latest stoppage win over Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
We’ve seen other UFC fighters in video games before, like Irish superstar Conor McGregor in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (2016).
Paddy Pimblett, one of the UK’s biggest stars, was featured in the official launch live-action trailer for ‘Battlefield 6’, which comes out on Oct. 10.

Pimblett joined Hollywood actor Zac Efron (The Iron Claw), NBA star Jimmy Butler, and country singer Morgan Wallen in the beginning of the video game trailer.
“Showtime,” Efron said to his squad as they got out of a military vehicle.
Pimblett was labeled as ‘recon’, and the UFC star held on to an assault rifle with his nickname ‘Paddy The Baddy’ on it along with his birth year, 1995.
Pimblett and his team of stars made the walk right before they met an unfortunate end.
“Okay boys, we’re here to do one thing, one thing—” Efron said right as his squad was blown up an enemy projectile.
Then, another squad of soldiers walked over where Pimblett was standing.
“Who was that?” one of the soldiers said.
“Doesn’t matter. Let’s move,” another replied.
