Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett makes his UFC debut Sept 4th

Meh was interested in him quite awhile ago but think his ceiling was visible fairly early. He may surprise but I don't feel he will get too far.

Even this fight is no gimme...

If he's 3-2 in his last 5 he probably wants to go to the UFC where the competition is easier.
If any new fighter in the UFC, in any weight class, can win their first 3 UFC fights, then it's at THAT POINT when I will start to pay close attention.

Many fighters arrive with 8-0 or 12-1 records or whatever and then lose 2 out of 3 of their UFC fights. That's because everyone in UFC is there *for a good reason*.

So ...good luck to Pimblett. I am sure he has a big personality and the swag.....he just needs to win 2 or 3 of his first fights and he will be on his way. Fair play if he can do that. Let's see.......................
 
Apparently the fight isn't off. Paddy's claiming it's all BS and he's fighting
 
Interesting turn of events. I did expect a few visa issues for some fighters. Hopefully fight is still on.
