Paddy Pimblett is back in action at UFC 282 on December 10 as he looks for his third win of the calendar year when he faces Jared Gordon.
Pimblett, 27, has won his first three fights since being signed to the UFC last September and faces another step-up in competition in promotional veteran Gordon. 'The Baddy' knocked out Luigi Vendramini in his promotional debut and went on to submit Kazula Vargas and Jordan Leavitt in London, earning $50,000 performance bonuses for all of his wins.
Gordon, 34, has over 10 UFC fights under his belt but has failed to reach the upper echelon of the lightweight division. A former drug addict who was facing life in prison but turned his life around, Gordon was signed to the UFC in 2017 and has won four of his last five fights. 'Flash' was last in action on the undercard of Leon Edwards' title win at UFC 278 in August, winning a decision against Leonardo Santos.
