Paddy Pimblett has stated that he has no intention of fighting in New York and has rejected Dana White's offer to have his next fight at UFC 281 alongside Molly McCann on a main event card - revealing why he's looking to fight elsewhere.
Last month, Pimblett defended his UFC unbeaten streak when he fought in London, defeating Jordan Leavitt at the O2 Arena, his toughest opponent to date, after locking in a rear-naked choke in the second round. It was a statement win for Pimblett, who many continue to raise doubts due to the level of his opponents so far, but Leavitt is seen as an up-and-coming fighter in the division with a strong record.
After having his last two fights in London, Pimblett is now looking to return to the United States for his future fights - and has admitted that he's looking forward to being stateside.
