An MMA fighter, Frederic Vosgröne, has captured attention online due to his striking resemblance to UFC star Paddy Pimblett and a fighting style reminiscent of UFC champion Dricus du Plessis.
Vosgröne, an undefeated light heavyweight from Germany, achieved viral fame following his recent victory in his OKTAGON MMA debut against Jorick Montagnac. The fight took place on Saturday.
Known for his expertise in submissions, particularly heel hooks and arm-triangles, Vosgröne quickly sought to bring Montagnac to the ground. Despite facing initial resistance, he persistently pursued takedowns.
In the second round, Vosgröne secured a victory by submitting Montagnac with an arm-triangle choke, marking his fourth consecutive submission win.
However, it wasn`t solely the victory itself that sparked online buzz, but rather Vosgröne`s unique approach to securing takedowns.
Fans React: Is it Paddy Pimblett or Brock Lesnar?
Frederic Vosgröne`s impressive physique for the light heavyweight division is hard to miss.
With his long blonde hair, spectators were quick to draw comparisons, some likening his appearance to UFC personality Paddy Pimblett, while others saw a resemblance to former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
One fan humorously commented on social media, “If Paddy and Brock Lesnar had a child,” capturing the mixed reactions to Vosgröne`s look.
Another fan playfully remarked on Vosgröne`s physique, saying, “Paddy Pimblett on steroids,” highlighting the visual similarities.
Vosgröne Emulates Dricus du Plessis` Takedown Strategy
The defining characteristic of Vosgröne`s fighting style is his relentless nature.
In the first round, the German fighter demonstrated unwavering commitment to his takedown attempts, mirroring UFC Champion Dricus du Plessis`s strategy against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305. He persistently clung to his opponent`s leg, eventually tripping him.
Montagnac momentarily went down, hobbling away from the cage. Despite briefly escaping, Vosgröne repeated the tactic, again seizing Montagnac`s ankle during another takedown attempt.
A fan on X (formerly Twitter) described Vosgröne`s grappling tenacity: “Bro is like a caveman that breathes grappling. Relentless, He don`t even care what`s coming back at him.”
