UFC star Paddy Pimblett was thrown out of Watford's ground after celebrating wildly during a Premier League clash with Liverpool.


a steward was so worried for the fighter's safety that he warned him he could be MURDERED




Staunch Liverpool fan Pimblett asked then Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster for tickets to a Premier League clash at the Hornets' Vicarage Road ground.


But the lightweight's afternoon took a turn after he failed to follow the stopper's pre-match instructions.

"We were chatting on Instagram,"


"I got him four tickets for the game and they are Watford tickets at Watford, so he has to sit in the Watford end.


“So I said to Paddy, 'I can get you four tickets but mate you have got to keep it on the down low.


“Don't go putting it on the internet, don't go causing a fuss, don't celebrate if Liverpool score'.


“Bearing in mind at the time, Liverpool were top of the league popping, while we were struggling. [They] beat us 5-0, every goal went in and he's jumping around celebrating."


Foster's co-host Tom Ochoa was in the stand with Pimblett and added:


"[There was a] goal after three minutes, I think it was [Sadio] Mane.



“Him [Pimblett] and his mates jump up - we are in the family and friends enclosure - goal goes in a couple of minutes later, [he jumps up again. Not going mental, but jumped up.”


"A steward comes over and says, 'We are going to have to ask you to leave, you'll get murdered if you stay in here doing that'.


“Paddy then comes out the ground, got kicked out, and goes straight on Instagram [and says] 'Thanks Fozzy lad for the tickets, I love you, but Watford you're a c*** club' and all this."


Foster went on to reveal he was fined for giving Pimblett the tickets.

"As soon as the match finishes, we have been pumped 5-0, I then look at my phone and there is a thousand messages —thousands of everything.


“I'm like "oh no, oh no',"


"Anyway, I got a week's fine for that, I got done a week's wages. Lovely... £150k you owe me, Paddy."
