UFC star Paddy Pimblett has claimed he is struggling to find an opponent for his octagon return on December 10, despite a number of callouts in the lightweight division.
The Scouse fighter has stopped his three opponents to date within two rounds since signing with the promotion, and is expected to make a step up in opposition, even if he isn't taking on ranked opposition yet. But he claims UFC chiefs are finding it difficult to match him for a bout on the massive end-of-year pay-per-view event.
He has previously faced Luigi Vendramini, Rodrigo Vargas and Jordan Leavitt inside the octagon after a Cage Warriors run that included winning featherweight gold. But as his level increases, it seems that opponents are hard to come by for the Brit for his next fight.
