JAKARTA - Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett has shown himself to be a promising UFC challenger. The man born in Liverpool is ready to chase the crown of Conor McGregor.
Prior to his debut bout against Luigi Vendramini, 26-year-old Pimblett was already making waves in the contact sports world with a 16-3 record at Cage Warriors.
As soon as UFC president Dana White took notice, 'The Baddy' road to the UFC became a reality. Fans who lost McGregor to a foot injury are now hoping for a new figure.
Pimblett really grabs attention. This is evidenced by his Instagram account exploding with nearly 500,000 new followers in less than a week after his UFC debut.
Launching MARCA, Wednesday, November 3, Pimblett began training on the Next Generation MMA team as a teenager. Despite being known for his Brazilian jiu-jitsu grappling skills, his UFC debut showed us wild knock-out punches in the first round, before climbing over the fence to celebrate like a true English football fan.
Every Liverpool supporter will instantly identify his personality. Pimblett has been a Reds fan since childhood, and brought that courage to the world of contact sports, exuding confidence and quickly demonstrating that he is a versatile man.
"People think I'm a grappler, and I just silenced everyone. I can strike. I can wrestle. I've got personality, I've got looks. The new king is here, boy," Pimblett told the press on his debut day.
After barely taking any punches during the first-round knock-outs, the young Pimblett hopes to showcase his skills before the end of the year against a Top 10 competitor in the lightweight division.
However, his fans may have to wait to see him perform again in the near future. Being a confident and proud Liverpudlian, Pimblett demanded a bigger salary from White after only one UFC fight.
There may be some who disagree with his demands. But no one can deny its instant impact on the sport.
