Paddy Pimblett was almost brought to tears by a fan who credited a post-fight interview he made for saving his life.
UFC star Pimblett, 27, pleaded for men to speak out about their mental health struggles in an emotional speech following his win against Jordan Leavitt in July. 'The Baddy' explained how one of his friends took their own life just one day before his fight, whilst also dedicating his win to the late Baby Lee Hodgson who passed away at the age of four.
Ahead of Pimblett's fight against Jared Gordon this Saturday at UFC 282, the Liverpudlian took part in a meet and greet with fans at the Culture Kings store in Las Vegas. Grant Edmond, a fan of Pimblett's, thanked the UFC star for his post-fight speech and admitted it saved his life.
