Molly McCann praises "freak" Paddy Pimblett as UFC star returns to gym

Molly McCann has praised her UFC sidekick Paddy Pimblett for his intense training schedule following his return to Liverpool.

Pimblett, 27, has spent the last two months in America but has returned to his gym Next Generation MMA as he prepares for a likely return fight in December. 'The Baddy' has expressed interest in fighting at UFC 282 on December 10 in Las Vegas, which will mark his first pay-per-view event in the promotion.

The Liverpudlian is unbeaten in his first three UFC fights and most recently submitted Jordan Leavitt at UFC London in July, marking his second win in the English capital having tapped out Kazula Vargas at The O2 arena in March. Pimblett currently weighs 198lb just over eight weeks out from his potential return date, with his sidekick McCann revealing that he is training for three hours a day.
