Liverpool’s Pimblett signs new UFC deal
Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett has signed a new deal with the UFC.
The lightweight, 29, made his UFC debut in 2021 and has quickly become one of the biggest stars in the MMA promotion.
Pimblett’s manager Graham Boylan made the announcement on X, saying his fighter was “very happy to see his value has been acknowledged and handsomely rewarded”.
The length of the deal has not been specified, but Pimblett did previously say his bout at UFC 304 on Saturday was the final fight on his current deal.
“New contract signed,” Pimblett said on the UFC’s Embedded YouTube series.
“For all them saying that I’m going anywhere, I’m not going nowhere.”
Pimblett faces American rival Bobby Green at Manchester’s Co-op Live and is a big favourite on home soil.
Pimblett will aim to make it six wins from six UFC fights while Green, 37, is competing in his 50th MMA fight.
Green has 32 wins, 15 losses, one draw and one co-contest on his record, making his pro debut in 2008.
On Friday, the UFC announced it had signed Cage Warriors star and Briton Jordan Vucenic.
The 28-year-old has 13 wins and just two losses on his record. Vucenic will fight Guram Kutateladze in Abu Dhabi on 3 August on his debut.
