Paddy Pimblett has enjoyed three months out of the Octagon since his win against Jordan Leavitt at UFC London in July but, despite his status as a big name within UFC, claims that he is struggling to find his next opponent.
The 27-year-old from Liverpool has enjoyed three successive stoppages in his UFC career, which means that a step-up in quality could be required for his next fight. However, there appears to be a lack of options at present despite a number of call outs. The lightweight admitted as much while commentating for Cage Warriors last weekend.
“I’m planning on fighting Decemeber 10 UFC 282,” Pimblett said while commentating in Italy. “I’m planning on fighting on that [show]. I’m just waiting for an opponent. I’m just waiting for an opponent to step up and sign the dotted line. Everyone talks about ‘The Baddy.’ Everyone talks about fighting me. When the contract is in front of them, they’re not as confident.”
