After making a massive noise with a knockout win in his debut, UFC lightweight, Paddy Pimblett has signed with Barstool Sports as their brand ambassador and content creator.

Paddy, in a tweet, said, “I have signed with Barstool Sports, people. I want to thank David Portnoy & Graham Boylan who put this deal together and for making it a very workable partnership for both sides. Barstool Sports know who the boy is.”

UFC commentator Jon Anik shared Paddy Pimblett’s tweet as well.

Paddy made his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 191 against Luigi Vendramini. Former Cage Warriors’ two-division champion entered the octagon with a 16-3 record. Everyone was expecting ‘The Baddy’ to come in and dominate the opponent, but it almost went the other way after Luigi caught Paddy with a left hook early in the first round. However, ‘The Baddy’ absorbed the early onslaught and finished the fight late in the first round via a knockout.
