Paddy Pimblett reflects on UFC London win, says he enjoys ‘getting punched’ in the face

Paddy Pimblett is one hell of a talent, but the Brit can sometimes get a tad reckless, leaving himself vulnerable to attack.

But not to worry, as ‘The Baddy’ quite enjoys ‘getting punched in the face’ for a living even though he knows he could fight more intelligently, especially in his most recent outing against Jordan Leavitt.

Pimblett (19-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) beat Leavitt (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) via submission but admits he was disappointed with his performance because he let his emotions get the better of him on fight night.

The Next Generation MMA talent knows he needs to fight smarter but isn’t sure he actually wants to, as he enjoys getting into a good scrap despite the risks it poses to his career.
