Find out the fan favourite Liverpool native Paddy Pimblett next fight, last fight and his MMA record ahead of UFC 314!

Liverpool native Paddy Pimblett has become one of the UFC‘s biggest personalities in record time. With his bowl haircut, Scouse accent, and post-fight celebrations involving massive calorie binges, Pimblett has captured fans’ hearts worldwide. Before joining the big leagues, he built his reputation on the European circuit as a scrappy competitor with a flair for entertainment.

Pimblett’s path to UFC stardom wasn’t an overnight success story by any means. He began his professional career in 2012 as a 17-year-old. He quickly racked up wins in smaller promotions before making his name in Cage Warriors. There, he captured the featherweight championship in 2016 in front of his hometown crowd in Liverpool. What’s interesting is that Pimblett actually turned down multiple UFC offers early in his career. He finally signed with the UFC in 2021.

The performance earned him a whopping $200,000 Performance of the Night bonus. This dominant win helped silence some critics who questioned whether his previous controversial decision victory over Jared Gordon truly reflected his skill level. After the fight, in typical Paddy fashion, he celebrated with his team and likely indulged in his infamous post-fight food binge that usually sees him gain significant weight between bouts.
