Paddy Pimblett's beaten opponent responds to UFC star's 'teabag' celebration

Jordan Leavitt has made light of his rival Paddy Pimblett 'teabagging' on him after their fight at UFC London.

'The Baddy' picked up his third successive UFC win by submitting Leavitt in the second round at The O2 arena last weekend. It marked Pimblett's second win in the English capital this year having previously submitted Kazula Vargas in March. Pimblett and Leavitt went back and forth before their fight, with the Liverpudlian vowing to 'teabag' him and Leavitt promising to 'twerk' if he won.

Pimblett stuck true to his word and squatted as close to Leavitt's head as possible after submitting him, a taunt commonly used in first-person shooter games. Leavitt could be seen backing away from Pimblett as soon as he pulled the move, but the pair settled their rivalry after the fight by shaking hands as the decision was announced.
