Seems like a new UFC star is on the rise if you ask the UFC fans and followers. However, this time he gets a confirmation for his attention-getting and his skills by UFC President Dana White as well. Yes, we are speaking about Paddy Pimblett, the rising star with a weird hairstyle MMA fighter.
Paddy Pimblett extended his record to 3-0-0 by submitting Jordan Leavitt in the second round of the UFC London event, which took place past weekend. It is evident that he created a massive hype for the fight. His press conferences, his incredible transformation to the athletic look, and his win are to be blamed for it. All this seems to be preparing him for being a new star in the promotion.

“I know for a fact now I’ll be fighting on pay-per-views with Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier commentating.” – Paddy Pimblett states after his incredible win.
And he is most probably right. The fans and followers of the UFC are not the only ones that notice his vibe. The one that actually needs to see it and has the say, did it recently. Dana White spoke highly of Paddy and even compared him to the Notorious Conor McGregor during his rise to a superstar.
“To talk about championship stuff now it’s a little too soon. But he’s got that Conor McGregor vibe.” – White says about Pimblett for MMA mania.
Dana compares Paddy’s gesticulations, his movement, his stance, and his ability to trash talk to the UFC legend. And when he says this he means it. Most probably he is very happy about it as well. In the end, that is what brings the big money into UFC. The hype surrounding the fighters.
“When he walks, when he’s in the arena, the way that the fans receive him, the way that the media covers him. The way that the people who search for content. I think what we do next is we take him to either Boston or New York and he ends up on pay-per-view and then you bring him to Vegas.” – Dana adds.
Until now, all three UFC fights that Paddy had in the octagon ended up being labeled the ‘Performance of the night’ fights. With this, he received a bonus for each of them as well.
Coming from Cage Warriors FC, Paddy holds a professional record of 19-3-0. This makes him a serious player and serious future contender for a title in the UFC promotion.
