Paddy Pimblett is tired of not being taken seriously in the UFC.
The Liverpudlian, who is 3-0 in the Octagon since making his promotional debut in 2021, is on a mission to prove that he’s every bit as legit as the UFC hype machine has led people to believe.
He takes on Florida’s Jared Gordon in this Saturday’s UFC 282 co-main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, marking his first UFC PPV appearance to date.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the lightweight matchup, 27-year-old Pimblett promised to prove that he belongs in the UFC and deserves to be recognized as a legitimate contender, planning to dispose of Gordon convincingly on Saturday.
