Paddy Pimblett's £9,500 UFC contract is "gone", according to his manager Graham Boylan.
The Scouse fighter is one of the most talked about prospects on the promotion's roster after an explosive set of first round finishes in his two outings thus far. And fans were stunned when he disclosed that his UFC contract had a guaranteed payout of just $12,000 to win and $12,000 guaranteed per fight.
Pimblett was earning bigger money for his biggest Cage Warriors fights, but ended up making considerably more after earning $50,000 bonuses for his stoppages of Luigi Vendramini and Rodrigo Vargas. However, fans and fighters alike were concerned, with boxing star Jake Paul even using his platform to raise a fuss about fighter pay with the Liverpool native a key example.
