In the images (see below), it is possible to notice the fighter's prestige with the public. Promising for the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg), the athlete, who received the most applause at the ceremony, tries to make up for the bet invested in his talent in the Octagon.

Over the weekend, Pimblett will make his second appearance with the Ultimate gloves. The fighter debuted in the organization in September 2021, when he ran over Luigi Vendramini.

Responsible for trying to 'spoil the party' for the Englishman, Vargas will have a tough commitment ahead of him. The fighter will have the opportunity to end Paddy's unbeaten run of three victories, which he has not lost since 2018, when he was still playing for Cage Warriors.

At 27 years old, Pimblett will reach the mark of 21 appearances as a professional in MMA. The fighter today has 17 triumphs and three stumbles. Rodrigo, in turn, will make his 17th challenge. The Mexican has 12 positive results and four negative results.
