Since leaving Cage Warriors and signing with the UFC, Paddy Pimblett has had a target on his back and that hasn’t changed three years later.
‘The Baddy’ earned the biggest win of his career last time out when he dominated Tony Ferguson for the entire three-round affair at UFC 296. Despite tending to keep his chin high, the scouser is well-rounded and is capable of finishing the fight wherever it takes place.
Following his win—which extends his unbeaten run to seven—Pimblett potentially finds himself on the verge of a ranked opponent. However, he may have to wait for a top-15 showing next after being called out by knockout artist Matt Frevola.
“I think it’s the fight to make but at the end of the day Sean Shelby, Dana White, and the UFC need to feel the same,” Frevola said regarding a potential Paddy Pimblett bout. “His backyard or mine would be fun.”
