Paddy Pimblett may have recorded an impressive victory against Jordan Leavitt at UFC Fight Night in London, but the Saturday face-off was an emotional one for the UFC fighter in more ways than one.
After winning the fight, Pimblett took a moment to open up about the importance of men taking care of their mental health. Pimblett revealed after his fight that five hours before his weigh-in on Friday, he heard his friend died by suicide.
