Paddy Pimblett shoots down idea he’ll leave after UFC 304: ‘Are you f*cking messing?’

MANCHESTER, England – Unless a new promotional agreement is signed in the next three days, Paddy Pimblett will close out his current deal Saturday at UFC 304.

Just because he’s fighting it out and could always entertain an extremely lucrative opportunity elsewhere should one pop up, Pimblett (21-3 MMA, 5-0 UFC) wants the public to know the likelihood of that is low.

“Why would I leave the UFC?” Pimblett told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “That got talked so much out of context, like everything I do. Every single thing I do, people spin a narrative on it and change it. I can’t go for a sh*t without people talking about it and spinning it, saying, ‘Oh, he sh*t on someone’s face.’
