UFC 282: Paddy Pimblett vs Jared Gordon: Paddy Pimblett has been an entertaining prospect since he entered the UFC domain. With just three fights into the promotion, Pimblett has already shown prominent features of becoming a future prize fighter. Ahead of his UFC 282 return against Jared Gordon, Paddy Pimblett connected with ESPN MMA and talked about several things surrounding his MMA career.
Paddy Pimblett also revealed how he received the nickname ‘Baddy’. While UFC fans may think that Pimblett received the ‘Baddy’ nickname during his Pro-MMA days, in reality, the story goes back to his amateur fighting days.

Paddy Pimblett also mentioned how he was left with no nickname before his coach suggested one for him. The UFC fighter continued, “Paddy the baddy. That’s it ‘Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett, and he looked at me and I just said, ‘go ahead’.”
