Paddy Pimblett has claimed only one sparring partner accepted an offer prior to his controversial UFC win over Jared Gordon.
Pimblett has become one of the most high-profile names on the UFC roster having won his first four fights since joining the promotion in 2021. However the Liverpudlian was forced to survive a scare in his most recent showdown against Gordon in December, having picked up a controversial win on the scorecards.
Prior to the fight, a video emerged of the star choking out three training partners following his win over the American which may have struck fear into potential rivals. And the 28-year-old has since revealed that he struggled to find others to work with him before suggesting he did keep footage of the rounds he did have.
