Paddy Pimblett was guaranteed just £9,500 for his first two UFC fights, but the fan favourite is now being paid "f***ing big money" ahead of his fight at UFC London.
Pimblett looks to extend his UFC unbeaten run to three fights when he faces Jordan Leavitt at The O2 arena tonight. 'The Baddy' has become one of the biggest stars in the UFC despite being signed to the promotion last September, capturing the attention of fans with his bravado and exciting fight style.
The Liverpudlian signed a seven-figure deal as a brand ambassador and content creator for US media company Barstool Sports just two months after his debut win. When his second UFC fight came around, many fans were shocked that Pimblett was only guaranteed £9,500 for stepping in the cage. Pimblett has now stated he will fight on a new deal against Leavitt, whilst not revealing specifics of the contract.
