“I know for a fact that I will now be fighting on pay-per-views with Jon Anik, Joe Rogan and (Daniel) Cormier on commentary. I know I won't fight at the O2 Arena again. It's very small. Let's do it at Anfield (Liverpool stadium). I promise you now. Dana said she won't do it at Anfield, but she also said that women would never fight in the UFC and Ronda (Rousey) came. He said he's not going to do a stadium event in the UK, but 'Baddy' came, so he's going”, said Pimblett.

Former champion of the Cage Warriors event, Paddy Pimblett arrived at the UFC in 2021 surrounded by great expectations. And so far, the fighter has responded in the octagon. The Brit won his three fights via the fast track and won the 'Performance of the Night' bonus in all of them. Wearing the gloves of the organization chaired by Dana White, the 27-year-old prospect knocked out Luigi Vendramini and finished Rodrigo kazula vargas e Jordan Leavitt.
