Today’s UFC London event featured a highly anticipated lightweight contest between Paddy Pimblett and Jordan Leavitt.<\/p>\n
Pimblett (19-3 MMA) had most previously competed in March of this year, earning a first round submission<\/a> victory over Rodrigo Vargas. That win had extended Paddy’s win streak to four in a row.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Jordan Leavitt (10-2 MMA) had last competed in April of 2022, where he earned a split-decision win over Trey Ogden. ‘The Monkey King’ had put together a 3-1 record since joining the UFC ranks<\/a> in December of 2020.<\/p>\n Tonight’s ‘Pimblett vs. Leavitt’ resulted in another stoppage win for ‘Paddy the Baddy’. After a back and forth opening round, the Liverpool native was able to take the back of his American opponent early in round two. From there, ‘The Baddy’ promptly sunk in a rear-naked choke which forced Leavitt to tapout.<\/p>\n Official UFC London Result: Paddy Pimblett def.
