Paddy Pimblett will face 10-1 UFC lightweight Jordan Leavitt when he returns to the cage at The O2 arena on July 23.
Pimblett, one of the hottest prospects in MMA at the moment, will take on Leavitt in what is a massive step-up in competition after two quick-fire wins since signing with the promotion last year. The Scouse fighter is one of the star attractions as the promotion returns to the UK for their second show of the year after a successful comeback event in March.
The fighter has stopped his two bouts in the promotion within a round, knocking out Luigi Vendramini last September before he submitted Rodrigo Vargas at The O2 in March during his sophomore octagon outing. He will now take a major step forward against Leavitt, who has won his last two in the promotion, and holds a record of 3-1 since winning his spot on the 2020 Contender Series.
