Known for his ‘extroverted’ manner before and after fights, Paddy Pimblett did not miss the opportunity to provoke Jordan Leavitt after defeating him in UFC London. Immediately after releasing the rear naked choke, the English prospect, called the 'New McGregor', 'rolled' in his rival's face to celebrate his triumph. The event took place on Saturday afternoon (23), at the O2 Arena.

The celebration has a reason: Leavitt, who usually celebrates his victories with dancing and doing the splits, promised during the promotion of the fight that he would do the same when he defeated the ‘New McGregor’. However, it was Pimblett who ‘danced last’
With the victory over Jordan Leavitt, Pimblett now has three wins in three fights wearing Ultimate gloves. Before his last rival, the Englishman beat the Brazilian Luigi Vendramini and Mexican Rodrigo ‘Kazula’ Vargas. The lightweight prospect (up to 70,3kg) now has a record of 19 positive results and three negative results as an MMA professional.
