Rising UFC superstar Paddy Pimblett has fought under three weight classes in MMA. After making his pro debut as a bantamweight at Olympian MMA Championships: 15, he eventually moved up to featherweight and subsequently lightweight while in Cage Warriors.
Pimblett made his featherweight debut at Cage Warriors 73 against Stephen Martin. 'The Baddy' won the contest via a doctor's stoppage after the first round.

The Liverpudlian then went on to claim the Cage Warriors featherweight championship with a first-round TKO win over Johnny Frachey at Cage Warriors 78.
The Brit made his lightweight debut at Cage Warriors 90 against Alexis Savvidis. He won the fight via second-round submission due to a flying triangle choke. Pimblett challenged for the Cage Warriors lightweight title in his next fight against Soren Bak but lost the contest via unanimous decision.

Since making his UFC debut, 'The Baddy' has exclusively fought in the promotion's lightweight division. Although he is still unranked in the UFC, the 27-year-old has registered three back-to-back wins in the organization with all three victories coming via finish.
The Next Generation MMA product currently holds an MMA record of 19 wins against three losses. In his next octagon outing at UFC 282, Pimblett is scheduled to fight Jared Gordon.
Logan Paul says that Paddy Pimblett is fun to watch
With his signature fringe and his over-the-top persona in the octagon, Paddy Pimblett is certainly an interesting character. In a recent appearance on Sean O'Malley's YouTube channel, Logan Paul said that Pimblett was "f*****g fun to watch."
Paul stated that although he occasionally trash talks the Brit, he wants Pimblett to continue in his winning ways:
"I want the Paddy streak to continue. I think he's a great lad. And I've said some s**t about him in the past and I'll say some s**t about him in the future and I'll say some s**t about him right now but at the end of the day, it's pretty objective that Paddy is f*****g fun to watch. He's got the look, he's got everything."

The YouTuber added that if Paddy Pimblett can polish his fighting skills to be as great as his persona, he can be a "solid" superstar:
"If his fight game can match his persona, I think you've got someone solid there. But otherwise, you're going to have to protect him."
