After two stunning performances so far in his UFC career, Paddy Pimblett has become one of the stars of the sport and his profile is expected to grow when he stars at UFC London next month.
However, some fans will be surprised to learn that the 27-year-old was guaranteed a pay-out of just $12,000 to win and $12,000 guaranteed per fight. This is the equivalent of just £9,500 guaranteed per fight, which is far less than for his biggest Cage Warriors fights.
However, due to his performances which were first round stoppages against Luigi Vendramini and Rodrigo Vargas, he was reported to have earned up to $50,000 and has now agreed a new contract. This is according to his manager Graham Boylan, who is the owner and president of Cage Warriors.
