Off the back of his latest victory over perennial contender, King Green at UFC 304 earlier this summer, top-15 ranked lightweight challenger, Paddy Pimblett has a clear route to the title in his mind — in the form of two top Brazilian contenders.
Pimblett, the current number fifteen ranked lightweight challenger, turned in his sixth consecutive victory at the end of July, landing a dominant opening round triangle choke submission win against perennial contender, Green in Manchester, England in the pair’s grudge fight.
And immediately landing in the top-15 for the first time since his organizational bow, former Cage Warriors featherweight gold holder, Pimblett welcomed the chance to take on Renato Moicano next — who is slated to headline UFC Fight Night Paris later this month in a high-stakes showdown with Benoit Saint Denis on enemy territory.
