Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Patrick Pimblett (born 3 January 1995) is an English professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Lightweight division in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[5][6] A professional since 2012, Pimblett is a former Cage Warriors Featherweight Champion.[7]

Early life

Paddy Pimblett was born on 3 January 1995[8] and grew up in Huyton, Merseyside. He attended St Margaret Mary's Primary school and Cardinal Heenan Catholic High school.[9] Influenced by the fight between Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale, he started training in mixed martial arts at the age of 14, joining Next Generation MMA and deciding he would compete in the sport for a living shortly after.[10]

Career

Early career

Pimblett made his debut in 2012, aged 17, racking up a 3–0 record before signing with Cage Warriors a year later.[11] In 2016, he claimed the Cage Warriors featherweight championship, beating Johnny Frachey at the Echo Arena in Liverpool,[12] and defended it once against Julian Erosa, winning a somewhat controversial unanimous decision.[13][14] In April 2017, Pimblett lost it against Nad Narimani[15] and moved up to lightweight.[16] After a win, he challenged for the Cage Warriors lightweight championship, losing by unanimous decision to Søren Bak.[17][18] After two more wins in the organisation, Pimblett signed a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[19][20] Pimblett had previously declined two UFC deals, getting better financial offers from Cage Warriors.[21]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Pimblett made his promotional debut against Luigi Vendramini on 4 September 2021, at UFC Fight Night 191.[22] Pimblett won the bout via knockout in the first round.[23] This fight earned him a Performance of the night bonus.[24] In October 2021, Pimblett signed an endorsement deal with Barstool Sports worth over $1,000,000.[25]

Pimblett faced Rodrigo Vargas on 19 March 2022 at UFC Fight Night 204.[26] He won the fight via submission in round one.[27] With this win, he received his second consecutive Performance of the Night award.[28] Paddy would later reveal he made $12,000 to show and $12,000 to win.[29]

Pimblett next faced Jordan Leavitt on 23 July 2022 at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinall.[30] He won the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the second round.[31] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[32]

Pimblett faced Jared Gordon on 10 December 2022 at UFC 282.[33] He won the bout via unanimous decision.[34] The decision was met with controversy, as many media outlets, fighters, and fans expressed their belief that Gordon had won the fight.[35][36][37][38][39][40] 23 out of 24 media sources scored the fight in favour of Gordon.[41]

Personal life

Pimblett is a close friend of fellow Liverpudlian mixed martial artist Molly McCann.[9]

Pimblett describes himself as a socialist and an opponent of the Conservative Party.[9] He supports the Liverpool-wide boycott of The Sun newspaper.[42]

Pimblett has said that his trademark floppy hair and lack of tattoos allows children to identify with him in a way that would not be possible for them to do if he was "a big hard fella with lots of tattoos". He is a supporter of Liverpool FC and has expressed a desire to fight at the team's home stadium of Anfield.[9]
