PADDY PIMBLETT

Representing Next Generation MMA Liverpool, orthodox lightweight Paddy Pimblett is an English fighter who began his MMA journey at fifteen years old. Before transitioning to the professional ranks in 2012, "The Baddy" developed a strong grappling arsenal that eventually earned him a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. During his career, he achieved championship success by capturing the featherweight title in Cage Warriors, and he went on to secure highly visible victories over opponents such as Jared Gordon and Tony Ferguson.

Entering UFC 329 with a professional record of 13-3-0, Pimblett is looking to rebound from a recent setback. His prior streak featured a technical submission win over King Green and a stoppage of Michael Chandler via punches and elbows. However, his run of success was halted in his most recent outing on January 24, 2026, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Justin Gaethje.
