UFC boss Dana White laid out his plans to have Paddy Pimblett fight in either Boston or New York next, but 'The Baddy' has explained why he won't fight in The Big Apple.
Pimblett picked up his third successive UFC win by submitting Jordan Leavitt at UFC London last weekend. It marked the Liverpudlian's second win in the English capital this year having previously submitted Kazula Vargas in March. Pimblett insisted after the win that he wouldn't be fighting in the UK again until the UFC hold an event at Anfield Stadium, the home of his beloved Liverpool FC.
In his UFC debut last September, Pimblett knocked out Luigi Vendramini in Las Vegas. The card was supposed to take place in London but was moved stateside because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, Pimblett has fought twice at The O2 arena and despite insisting his next fight will not take place in the UK, he admitted he doesn't want to fight in New York because of the tax rate in the state.
