UFC star Paddy Pimblett has been criticised for refusing to fight a top 15 ranked opponent under his current contract.
Pimblett recently submitted Kazula Vargas at UFC London last month to pick up his second win in the promotion. The Liverpudlian made his long-awaited debut last September, surviving an early scare to knockout Luigi Vendramini.
After his win against Vargas, Pimblett admitted he wouldn't fight a ranked contender unless the UFC offers him a new deal, stating: “I wouldn’t take a top 15 fight. I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t. Add some more zeros to my contract and then I will. I think I proved tonight that I deserve a new contract. Not this little standard one.”
