Paddy Pimblett is "hungry" to silence critics in his UFC return after his controversial win against Jared Gordon last December.
Pimblett, 28, hasn't fought since beating Gordon at UFC 282 last December with many fans and fighters labelling the outcome as "one of the worst UFC decisions ever". 'The Baddy' limped his way out of the octagon after the win having damaged his ankle in the opening round of the fight. Pimblett underwent surgery in March for the injury and UFC women's flyweight Molly McCann has now given an update on her fellow Scouser's injury.
"I feel like he had his cast off last week," McCann said. "He's not been in the MMA gym too much because it's quite a far drive to get in but he's coming to strength and conditioning. He's just hungry, obviously the performance wasn't what he wanted it to be. He wants to just prove who he is. He had a sore foot going into it but none of us realised how bad the injury was that he sustained in the fight until after it."
