Paddy Pimblett partied until 3am following his latest UFC win, belting out Oasis classic Wonderwall with famous DJ Marshmello.
Pimblett picked up his fourth consecutive UFC victory in controversial fashion at the weekend by outpointing American star Jared Gordon in Las Vegas. His rival believed that he had done enough to get the nod and claimed he was "robbed" after the final bell, with many fans online following the same verdict.
Despite coming under fire, Pimblett was happy with his performance and immediately went out to enjoy himself following the result. The Liverpudlian went home to rest before attending XS Nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas at around 12:30am, hosting his "official after party" for fans.
He arrived with an entourage of friends and was greeted by nightclub staff who held up signage which spelt Paddy, while he was cheered by hundreds of revellers in the plush spot. Despite partying in an exclusive VIP area, Pimblett made sure to include his fans and addressed them on stage.
Pimblett shouted: “Yes, XS, what’s up? How are we tonight, are we good? Well, let’s get rowdy then, let’s get the party started!” During the night, he very much enjoyed himself, posing for photos with fans while jumping around with hugely-successful DJ Marshmello, who made a guest appearance.
He also was seen belting out some of his favourite songs, including hugely-popular band Oasis' smash hit Wonderwall, before leaving at around 3am. Pimblett has been known for ensuring he has a break following his strict training camps, and regularly piles on weight as a result.

UFC 282 was a tough night for Pimblett, who was under the cosh from Gordon as the American piled on the pressure at times in the fight. Fight statistics showed Gordon landed more overall strikes across the three rounds than his rival, in addition to three successful takedowns and possessing six minutes of control time.
But despite the worrying conclusions being drawn, Pimblett dismissed claims that he was struggling during the clash and insisted he won all three rounds. The rising star said at the post-fight press conference: "I know I won that fight. I deal in facts and I won an unanimous decision, it wasn't even like it was a split decision.
"I don't care what anyone says. When you look back at the history books, I've got a green marker next to my name so everyone else can suck my a***hole. Look at his face and then look at mine, fights get scored on damage now and I landed a lot more damage.
"After looking at the stats after the fight, I think I won all three rounds. Control time means nothing, damage does. I spoke to him in the back, he said to me 'I thought I won'. I told him he was a tough son of a b**** because he took some big shots and kept walking forward."
