Paddy Pimblett is set to take the next step on his UFC journey this March at UFC Fight Night in London.
The Liverpudlian made his debut in the promotion this past September with a first-round knockout victory over Luigi Vendramini at UFC Fight Night 191.
It was one of three fights on the night involving Liverpool-born fighters. In the prelims, Molly McCann scored victory over South Korea's Ji Yeon Kim. Event headliner Darren Till was beaten via submission by American Derek Brunson.
Pimblett, 27, has primarily fought throughout his career for the London-based promotion Cage Warriors.
He has a professional record of 17-3 and will fight 33-year-old and former Cage Fury Fighting lightweight champion Jared Gordon at UFC Fight Night in London this March.
