UFC lightweight star, Paddy Pimblett has been recognised as the ‘Celebrity of the Year’ at a National Diversity Awards ceremony for his open discussion regarding his mental health struggles — much to his apparent surprise.
Pimblett, who most recently featured on the main card of UFC 304 back in July, managed to turn in his sixth straight Octagon win, submitting promotional stalwart, King Green with a first round triangle-armbar submission win.
Yet to receive booking for his next outing, Huyton native, Pimblett, who earned the number fifteen rank at lightweight off the back of his submission win, was the subject of a recent call out from UFC Fight Night Paris main event winner, Renato Moicano.
