Paddy Pimblett has not fought since defeating King Green at UFC 304 in July
UFC chief Dana White has hinted that Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett's return to the octagon could happen in the United Kingdom in 2025 - with Renato Moicano named as a possible opponent. The 29-year-old, who hails from Huyton , defeated American King Green via first-round submission at UFC 304 in Manchester earlier this year to move into the lightweight rankings for the first time.
White, though, has heaped praise on Liverpool MMA star Pimblett and indicated that a bout against Moicano could be scheduled for either the UK or Abu Dhabi early next year. 'Paddy killed it. Again, a lot of negative surrounding Paddy. A lot of naysayers about what he is capable of doing and I think he shut a lot of people up with that performance,' White told TNT Sports. 'Again, another massive star of the UK that I'm sure we'll be doing something with him over there soon.
