Paddy Pimblett is hopeful over new UFC deal after banking just £9,000 to fight on London card, with fan favourite insisting he 'showed how much I am worth'

Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett is 'hopeful' over agreeing fresh terms with the UFC after he was paid just £9,000 to fight at UFC London.

The Liverpool fighter was a huge draw and enjoyed arguably the most attention of anyone on the card. From the octagon walk to his first-round win and post-fight antics on the mic, Pimblett confirmed his star is very much on the rise.

It was then a real surprise when he revealed he had only been paid £9,000 to show, before banking another £9,000 to win and a £38,000 performance bonus for the finish.
