Paddy Pimblett will be a UFC fighter for the foreseeable future.
“The Baddy” celebrated a new contract on the latest episode of UFC Embedded ahead of this Saturday’s UFC 304 event in Manchester, England, where he fights King Green in a lightweight bout on the main card.
Earlier this week, Pimblett discussed the Green fight being the last bout on his current UFC deal, suggesting that he could be open to parting ways with the promotion and boxing “stupid YouTubers.” However, it turns out that the popular Scouser is here to stay.

“New contract signed,” Pimblett said. “For all them [expletive] that I’m going anywhere, I’m not nowhere [expletive].”
Daniel Cormier was first to report the lightweight re-signing, mentioning that Pimblett had inked a new deal on the official UFC 304 weigh-in show. The terms of Pimblett’s new contract not known.
Pimblett (21-3) joined the UFC in 2021 with plenty of hype behind him after emerging as a star in England’s Cage Warriors promotion. He is 5-0 inside the octagon so far, including a recent unanimous decision win over longtime fan favorite Tony Ferguson.
