Polarizing UFC lightweight contender, couldn’t hide his joy overnight as he watched England suffer defeat to Spain in the European Championships final – as he took in the event with other viewers in a pub.
Pimblett, a native of Liverpool, is slated to make his return to action at the end of this month, taking on perennial contender and striking star, King Green in a main card clash at UFC 304 in Manchester.
Sidelined since last December, Pimblett, a former undisputed Cage Warriors featherweight champion, improved his unbeaten run in the promotion to six consecutive fights, courtesy of a decision win over former interim lightweight gold holder, Tony Ferguson over the course of three rounds.
