Brash Pimblett Promises First-Round Finish at UFC London

View the original article to see embedded media.

Paddy Pimblett, known to his fans as "Paddy the Baddy," owns one of the boldest personalities on the UFC roster, and the 27-year-old lightweight isn't planning on toning it down anytime soon.

A staunchly proud Scouser instantly recognizable from his trademark blonde "ket wig," Pimblett (18-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has stormed onto the UFC scene, picking up back-to-back first-round stoppages to kick off his octagon tenure. Now he's promising to repeat the trick at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 208 event in London against Jordan Leavitt (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC).

"I think it's an easy night's work at the office to be honest, lad," Pimblett told MMA Underground in his thick accent. "He doesn't come to win fights. He comes not to lose. He doesn't come to finish. He comes not to lose, and I'm the opposite, lad. I come to finish, and he's getting finished in the first round, to be honest."
