Paddy Pimblett close to tears over cancer plight of four-year-old Baby Lee

Paddy Pimblett has vowed to dedicate his UFC London fight to four-year-old Baby Lee Hodgson who tragically passed away last month.

Lee lost his fight with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, an extremely rare and aggressive cancer. Lee's parents, Josh Hodgson and Kiesha Murphy, became concerned about their son's health when he developed a cough in 2020, later being diagnosed with stage four metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma that year.

The courageous youngster faced several trips to and from hospital, being given just a five to 10 per cent chance of survival by doctors. Refusing to give up the fight for their son, Lee's parents and their local community came together to fundraise for private treatment for the youngster.
