Ahead of his return to action at UFC 314 next month, Liverpool grappler, Paddy Pimblett has welcomed the chance to finally settle his long-standing grudge with the unbeaten, Ilia Topuria — particularly if the Spaniard is set for a lightweight move later this year.
Pimblett, a former Cage Warriors featherweight champion, is set to co-headline UFC 314 next month, taking on former lightweight title chaser, Michael Chandler over the course of five rounds in a high-stakes pairing.
And sidelined since last July, Pimblett improved on his unbeaten run in the Octagon with an impressive first round triangle choke over lightweight stalwart, King Green in the pair’s main card clash at UFC 304.
