Paddy Pimblett says he’s sidelined until late 2023 with upcoming surgery, shuts down Drew Dober rumor

Despite being nearly three months removed from his most recent bout, a controversial unanimous decision over Jared Gordon at UFC 282, Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has yet to undergo surgery on an ankle injury suffered in the bout.

He said his schedule has kept him from locking in a date to get the operation he needs, but during a recent interview to promote his new ABE All Baddy Everything pre-workout supplement, which is exclusive to The Vitamin Shoppe in the U.S. and launches March 4, Pimblett said surgery is on the books for next week when he returns to his native England.
