“There’s me, Tom Breese, Arnold Allen and Chris Fishgold (Cage Warriors lightweight champion), and we’re all about 21 to 25. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m going to do for Britain what Conor McGregor has done for MMA in Ireland.
“It’s a mainstream sport in Ireland now, it’s going to become a mainstream sport in Britain thanks to me. I’m going to make sure that the sport gets regulated and is not classed as entertainment no more.”
With such lofty aspirations, you’d think that Pimblett would be incredibly eager to expedite his progression to UFC, but he’s got time on his side and feels hugely valued in the employ of Cage Warriors.
“I’m only 21, so there’s no point rushing. I’ve got years of this to be doing. Look at Dan Henderson; he’s 47 and fighting for world titles, and that’s more than double my age. I feel at home with Cage Warriors.
