Paddy Pimblett is currently one of the hottest prospects in the UFC. Since his debut in 2021, ‘The Baddy’ has garnered a huge fan base with his exploits in the cage. However, his last outing against Jared Gordon at UFC 282 left him a polarising figure after a controversial victory. Nevertheless, Pimblett currently boasts an impressive 4-0 record in the UFC. Interestingly, one of those four opponents is chomping at the bits to have another go at Pimblett.

Pimblett’s former opponent and UFC lightweight Jordan Leavitt recently expressed his interest to run it back with the Scouser. In their first fight in July 2022, Pimblett submitted Leavitt in the second round. However, after his most recent win inside the octagon, Leavitt has his sights sets on Paddy Pimblett again.

In an interview with ‘The Schmo’, Jordan Leavitt confessed his desire to run it back with Paddy Pimblett. However, the 11-2 fighter had a realistic approach to his desire.

Speaking to ‘The Schmo’, he said, “I would love that fight again, but I don’t deserve it. So I’m about to keep stacking bodies, keep getting highlights, keep knocking people out until I get that fight back.”
