Paddy Pimblett brings up viral post-fight speech on World Mental Health Day after "another friend of friend" takes his own life 

On October 10, Paddy Pimblett re-posted a video of his beloved post-fight speech about men's mental health.

In July 2022, Pimblett extended his UFC record to 3-0 with a second-round submission win against Jordan Leavitt. The Liverpool native had an opportunity to utilize his microphone time during his post-fight interview, and he decided to open up about the topic of men's mental health.

'The Baddy' won over many new fans that night by encouraging men worldwide to talk about their emotions to prevent becoming depressed and suicidal.

On Thursday, Pimblett took to Instagram and re-posted his July 2022 post-fight interview to support World Mental Health Day. He added the following caption to reiterate the importance of the topic:

"After hearing over the last few days that another friend of a friend has taken there own lives, this message needs spreading more than ever ❤️ #worldmentalhealthday"

Paddy Pimblett made his highly-anticipated UFC debut in September 2021. He quickly established a presence in the lightweight division by securing consecutive finishes against Luigi Vendramini (first-round knockout), Rodrigo Vargas (first-round submission), and Jordan Leavitt (second-round submission).

Since then, Pimblett has continued to silence the doubters with three more wins, starting with a controversial unanimous decision against Jared Gordon. 'The Baddy' took out Tony Ferguson by unanimous decision in late 2023 and most recently Bobby Green by first-round submission to extend his UFC record to 6-0.

What's next for Paddy Pimblett in the UFC?

Paddy Pimblett made a massive statement when he submitted Bobby Green in round one of their UFC 304 matchup. Pimblett was a slight betting favorite heading into the fight, but most people expected Green to test the English superstar.

Pimblett holds the number 14 rank in the lightweight division and plans to fight once more in 2024.

Earlier this year, 'The Baddy' voiced his interest in fighting number eleven-ranked Renato Moicano, who recently defeated Benoit Saint-Denis in a fight night main event.

At 29 years old, Pimblett has proven he's more than a massive superstar. With that said, the journey to UFC gold won't be any easier for the Liverpool native, making every fight a tough challenge moving forward.
