With a close eye on next weekend’s UFC Fight Night Paris headliner, lightweight star, Paddy Pimblett’s eyes proved to be less than bigger than his belly over the course of the weekend, with the Liverpool grappling putting away 47 chicken wings to set a new restaurant record.
Pimblett, who finally cracked the lightweight top-15 rankings over the course of this summer, managed to land his sixth consecutive victory in the Octagon with a dominant opening round triangle choke win over veteran lightweight mainstay, King Green at UFC 304.
The victory came as Huyton native, Pimblett’s second more high-profile victory on the trot, with the former undisputed Cage Warriors featherweight champion landing a prior unanimous decision win over former interim UFC lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson.
