Well before Paddy Pimblett got his new UFC deal wrapped up earlier this week, his manager and former promoter knew big things were on the way.
Graham Boylan, who promoted “The Baddy” when he fought under his Cage Warriors banner and became featherweight champion, manages him now, and ahead of his Saturday fight at UFC 304 (pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+) in Manchester, England, presumably was instrumental in wrapping up the new contract.
In June, Boylan told MMA Junkie Radio he thinks Pimblett is the biggest star from the United Kingdom on the UFC’s roster.
