The internet has officially lost it—because there’s a new conspiracy floating around, and it’s as wild as they come. According to a viral Reddit theory, UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett might actually be the secret son of the late WWE legend Owen Hart.

Yes, you read that right.

The theory, which started gaining traction in combat sports circles, points to a few eerie coincidences. One Reddit user laid it out like this: “Paddy Pimblett entered the world in January 1995 in England. Interestingly, just nine months before his birth, the WWF (now known as WWE) was touring Europe, with Owen Hart participating in that tour.”

On top of that, both Pimblett and Hart stand at 5’10”, and according to some fans, share a striking resemblance. While most Redditors are taking it as a joke, the top comment summed up the internet’s reaction perfectly: “This is a good one.”

Some are already having fun with the theory, suggesting that if Pimblett locks in a Sharpshooter against Michael Chandler in his April 12, 2025, fight, that’ll be all the confirmation they need. Others joked he might “break out the piledriver instead,” a nod to Hart’s infamous move.

Of course, the whole idea is pure internet madness, but it does serve as another reminder of Owen Hart’s enduring legacy. The WWE icon, who tragically passed away in 1999, remains one of the most beloved figures in wrestling history.

As for Pimblett, he’s busy carving out his own name in UFC’s lightweight division, but now, thanks to Reddit, there’s a new reason for fans to keep a close eye on him.

So, what do you think? Is this theory the internet at its finest—or just another ridiculous rabbit hole? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
