Since his UFC debut, ‘The Baddy’ has picked up a lot of fans. He went viral after giving an emotional speech on men’s mental health and has been positively influencing people.
‘The Baddy’ is popular for his aggressive fighting style and funky hairstyle. He was very influenced by the fight between Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida which is one of the most popular fights in the UFC. Pimblett started training in MMA shortly after at the age of 14 and the influence can be seen in his fighting style.
Paddy holds a black belt in Brazilian and trains at Next Generation MMA Liverpool. He is a former Cage Warriors fighter and was a Featherweight champion in that promotion. Pimblett joined the UFC in 2021 and in such a short time, he has become a household name all over the world.

He won a Performance of the Night bonus for his debut and his popularity skyrocketed ever since.
‘The Baddy’ then went on to fight Kazula Vargas and Jordan Leavitt, winning both of the bouts via submission. He became such a popular figure that typical Fight Nights are now too small for him.
