Rising lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett notched his third UFC win this past weekend in London via a second-round submission over Jordan Leavitt. Now 3-0 with the company and a massive hype behind him, the Liverpool native expects to be a pay-per-view attraction for his next fight.
“I know for a fact now I’ll be fighting on pay-per-views with Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and [Daniel Cormier] commentating,” Pimblett said after his Saturday night win.
As it turns out, Paddy “The Baddy” may be right, at least according to UFC president Dana White. During his media scrum after this week’s season premiere of Contender Series, White had this to say.
