Paddy Pimblett is chasing a second UFC London victory within the space of four months tonight when he fights Jordan Leavitt at the O2 Arena.
The Liverpool MMA star is unbeaten in his short UFC career and is quickly establishing himself as one of the contenders to be the next faces of the business. Pimblett, 27, defeated Rodrigo Vargas at the same venue in March, securing a first-round submission win against the Mexican in similar fashion to his debut victory over Luigi Vendramini last year.
Leavitt is Pimblett’s toughest opponent to date and the Baddy went on the offensive at the pre-fight press conference this week, saying: “I'm gonna teabag him, man. I'm gonna teabag him like it's Modern Warfare 2 … I'll just squat up and down as close to his head as I possibly can without the ref shouting at me.
