Paddy Pimblett is now seemingly getting closer and closer to fighting ranked opponents after winning his third UFC bout in sensational fashion. Pimblett produced a thrilling performance last month when he defeated Jordan Leavitt at the O2 Arena in London.
His performance in forcing Leavitt into a submission, combined with his emotional words have left an impact on the sport and the company's bosses will be looking towards his next fight in the hope that he can produce a similarly impressive performance.
Leavitt was by far the most difficult opponent of his career to date, and did give him some difficulties with his wrestling in the first round. But Pimblett was able to land a huge knee to take Leavitt to the ground before looking in a rear naked choke to force him into submisssion.
