Before the explosion of influencers, and all that is the way of the hobby world, and media, before Blake’s guy theufcbaddy was a monster on the ufc ufceurope scene, Blake was out here trailblazing for in many ways. He even mentioned the pokemon and pokemontcg world! Bright kid! After his incredible performance last night, we thought it would be fun to throw it back  and share when Blake and Paddy chatted about cards and the hobby.💻🎥🎙️

Blake had recently been included in #topps #allenandginter, which is an immeasurable honor, and shows how even at 9 years old, Blake was already miles ahead of the times. But Blake has always excelled and achieved great things through his hard work, and innate ability to connect and chat with people through his engaging persona. ❤️🤠 

Blake even mentioned giving packs to kids in England for the first time and ripping them, in the iconic toy store hamleysofficial. It was so much fun! Can we get packs in Hamleys someday? 🧸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤔

Concurrently at that time, our mate realharrysworld was building the londoncardshow into the incredible beast it is now, world@renowned and the top show in all of Europe! Everyone go follow, and if you get the chance, attend that show. It’s already surpassed many shows in the states! 🫡

Paddy Pimblett is one of the nicest and most personable athletes in the world, and also an amazing father and husband. You should all cheer for this man!!!! 💪👏
