Paddy Pimblett has revealed that he changed his hairstyle to stop his hair from getting in his eyes when he fights.

Pimblett continued his impressive UFC run with a decision victory over Tony Ferguson in the early hours of Sunday morning, dominating the American in the pair's lightweight bout.

The Liverpudlian has received praise for his post-fight words regarding his opponent, branding him a 'legend' as he looked forward to his next bout, potentially in Manchester.

But the main take away from the fight was potentially Pimblett's new look. Known for his longer-hair style and combed, old-fashioned look, the 28-year-old donned a new style on Sunday, wearing cornrows for the first time in his career.
