Paddy Pimblett undergoing ankle surgery, return at UFC 286 unlikely

Paddy Pimblett is undergoing surgery.

Following his unanimous decision win over Jared Gordon at UFC 282 this past December, Pimblett revealed he suffered a few injuries. The ‘Baddy’ needed an MRI on his right ankle, which was injured after throwing a kick early.

Depending on the results of the MRI, Pimblett said he would try and get a fight in before his wedding in May, which could have seen him return for UFC 286 in March. But that is no longer an option for Pimblett, who revealed on a recent vlog that he would have surgery on his right ankle instead.
