Paddy Pimblett is fast becoming one of the most recognisable faces in the UFC following his electric start to his career as part of the franchise.
He has back-to-back performances of the night ahead of his UFC London fight against Jordan Leavitt tonight at the O2 Arena. He has won via stoppage twice since his UFC debut last September, firstly he beat Luigi Vendramini via KO before his win against Rodrigo Vargas by sub mission, both performances were lauded as the 27-year-old impressed.
One admirer Pimblett earned after his last fight was Virgil van Dijk, with the Liverpool centre-back praising the lightweight fighter for his performance. The Dutch defender tweeted: "Go on lad @theufcbaddy," with a red circle emoji to show Pimblett's support of the Reds.
