LAS VRGAS – UFC president Dana White is sensing something special out of Paddy Pimblett.
Pimblett (19-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has become a high profile name in the sport after just three octagon appearances, the most recent of which saw him submit Jordan Leavitt in the second round of their lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 208 this past weekend in London.
The charismatic Brit is a polarizing figure for many, but Pimblett is making the most of his opportunities. In fact, White likened “The Baddy” to the biggest star the sport has ever seen, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor.
