UFC newcomer Paddy Pimblett will take on lightweight prospect Jordan Leavitt at UFC Fight Night 211 in London, England on July 23, BBC Sport confirmed on Friday.
The Liverpool fighter has taken the UFC by storm since signing with the promotion in 2021 and has quickly become one of the organization’s biggest British stars.
‘Paddy The Baddy’ stole the show earlier this year at UFC London where he defeated Mexican fighter Rodrigo Vargas via submission. Pimblett finished Vargas in the first round with a rear-naked choke.
Should he win his next fight, Pimblett will look to sign a new six-figure deal with the UFC.
