Paddy Pimblett 's fight on Saturday will be his last in the UK until the UFC holds their debut card at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.
Pimblett, who is an avid Liverpool fan, makes his third UFC appearance this Saturday night when he takes on Jordan Leavitt at The O2 arena. 'The Baddy' made his UFC debut last September in Las Vegas and last fought on the UFC London card in March, submitting Kazula Vargas in the opening round. Pimblett has previously stated the venue's 20,000 capacity is "too small" and he wants the UFC to book their inaugural event at Anfield.
UFC boss White has previously shut down the idea of holding an event at the stadium, stating he wouldn't hold an event outside in England because of the unpredictable weather. Pimblett thinks his star power is wasted by competing on Fight Night cards in London and wants to compete on pay-per-views in his next bouts.
