Few things ever cause such a stir on social media as Paddy Pimblett’s brutally honest review of a product. The Liverpudlian fighter was taste-testing an energy drink in a promotional clip for ABE Energy and did not hold back: every word left no doubt as to what he thought about a competitor’s product.

The clip shows Paddy taking his first sip before he opened his mouth to turn his face into full-on disgust. “What the fuck is that, guy?” he shouted, his face scrunched in utter revulsion. “Wow, that’s rough. Jesus Christ. I can’t even get that out of me.” His expressions became stronger as he forced down the second sip, saying it was “scatty” and “disgusting,” before finally landing the review, “That’s proper dog shit.”

The strawberry flavor of ABE Energy got an immediate and heartfelt endorsement from Paddy, who said that it “is a proper pre-work health drink” in stark contrast to the absinthe-like distaste he had showed moments earlier—and this sudden change from abject loathing to sincere flirtation has sent viewers into fits of laughter and generated thousands of engagements on many platforms.

The fans are loving Paddy and his unusual approach. “Paddy does not mince his words,” one fan said, while another joked that the nameless competitor was currently “breaking keyboards” following the vicious put-down. Witnesses confirmed that it was that raw brutal honesty that spiked their interest in actually trying the product Paddy trashed. “How you’ve told me not to drink it, you’ve made me wanna test it out,” one commented.

However, others remain unconvinced. Critics proposed a few questions, such as why would Paddy endorse any supplement at all, while one very straightforward comment read, “DRINK WATER. STOP PUTTING YOUR NAME TO SHIT PADDY LAD.” Some also raised red flags over publicly calling out a competitor: “You can get sued for that.”

On an unintended note, the video has also resurrected the debate over Paddy’s physique between bouts, with one user asking, “Why paddy always look fat?” That query swiftly got some fiery returns, some of which originated from inside the camp: “Leg it with your 2 pence no one assed mate he’s slapping everyone in the octagon.”

Having forged a name for himself in combat sport—by and large through the candid Liverpudlian charm laughter has always been slightly mixed with—Paddy Pimblett has become the Vincent Price character: either dillying away the time of the product that his sponsor is promoting or crushing the competitor of said sponsor. And, whether you love him or hate him, the one thing for sure is that when he gives a review, every word Paddy Pimblett says will be etched into your memory.
