Many MMA fighters cash their biggest checks when signing with the UFC, especially if they haven’t fought for the promotion before. However, that wasn’t the case for Paddy Pimblett.
The English star revealed that he actually went down in pay when he switched from Cage Warriors to UFC in 2021. Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC), at one point a two-division Cage Warriors champion, said his contact in the U.K. based promotion was much higher than what he initially got paid in the UFC for his first couple of fights.
