Few fighters have burst onto the UFC with as much fanfare as Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett. The former Cage Warriors champ debuted in the Octagon at UFC Vegas 36, knocking out Luigi Vendramini in an all-out brawl.
Since that win, Pimblett has called himself the promotion’s latest “cash cow” (much to Sean O’Malley’s chagrin) and stated that he expected a slew of call outs to come. At last night’s UFC Vegas 38, one fighter decided to fulfill part of Pimblett’s prophecy, by asking for a fight with the brash rookie.
After beating Joe Solecki by split decision on the undercard Jared Gordon singled out Pimblett in his in-cage interview.
