Paddy Pimblett will make his second appearance in the UFC Octagon later today at UFC Fight Night London. He will fight Rodrigo Vargas in the lightweight division. Paddy’s first foray was a resounding success as he stopped his opponent in the very first round.
The 27-year old has not looked back since. He secured a million-dollar deal with Barstool Sports in the month of his UFC debut itself. A relatively new UFC fighter usually does not get much hype. However, Pimblett has an insane among of natural charisma which has won over a lot of fans.
Paddy will be a massive favourite for today’s fight. Although Vargas is a good fighter himself, Pimblett is expected to win the contest with relative ease. According to a report, ‘The Baddy’ is a 40/1 favourite to win the fight. A strong showing in his home country will make a significant impact on his already growing star power.
The Scouser already has his eyes set on another massive superstar, Conor McGregor. Pimblett is already being positioned for big things in the UFC going forward.
