Paddy Pimblett chokes out Jordan Leavitt for third successive UFC victory

Jordan Leavitt Paddy Pimblett UFC Kazula Vargas Luigi Vendramini Alexander Gustafsson Nikita Krylov Baddy Paul Craig UFC London

Paddy Pimblett remained unbeaten in the UFC by submitting Jordan Leavitt in the second round at UFC London.

Pimblett was looking for his third consecutive UFC win against Leavitt after stopping Kazula Vargas and Luigi Vendramini in his first two fights. Leavitt entered the fight with a record of 10-1 having only lost to Claudio Puelles last June. 'The Baddy' had his work cut out for him straight from the opening bell with Leavitt doing his best to drag him to the mat.

Leavitt was doing a better job than Pimblett's past two opponents, not giving 'The Baddy' an inch by working for takedowns against the fence. Pimblett took the back of Leavitt midway through the second round and landed some good strikes before eventually seeking the choke. Leavitt tried to fight the hands of Pimblett but eventually gave up his neck with 'The Baddy' forcing him to tap with a rear-naked choke.
