JAKARTA - UFC star Paddy Pimblett was asked which footballer he would like to play against and the answer was two Portuguese players, with the Liverpool athlete finally choosing Bernardo Silva.

Pimblett is known to be a huge Liverpool fan and the reason he chose the Portugal international was down to a specific incident involving Silva and his beloved Reds.

The UFC fighter admits that, if this question had been asked 12 months earlier, he would have picked another rival star, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes, but explained why that has now changed.

"Last season, when he first signed, it was Bruno Fernandes because of his overvaluation", he told the Pub Talk podcast.

“But now, Bernardo Silva. I don't know anyone who likes Bernardo Silva.

"He's an unbelievable footballer. He's a good footballer but he's dead wrong. He sucks!"

Pimblett recalled how, when Liverpool won the Premier League and hosted Manchester City in their next game, Silva was the only player who refused to applaud the Reds in a guard of honor.

"That time when they gave us [Liverpool] a guard of honor, he just stood there. Come on (fight) man."
