Brash Paddy Pimblett Promises First-Round Finish at UFC London (Sports Illustrated)

Liverpool native promises to deliver another memorable moment Saturday against Jordan Leavitt.

"It's going to be another special occasion, lad, and I'm going to rise to it," Pimblett said. Pimblett's ultimate trajectory remains to be seen, but it certainly seems like a ride worth watching. "I mean, I'm the biggest weirdo ever when we get in the cage, and if people are saying, 'Oh, the grappling,' my grappling is much better than his. "Lad, I've been dealing with it my whole life," Pimblett said. Time will tell as Pimblett makes his way up from his current position to the division's elite at 155 pounds. I'm going to put on a proper show. "I don't feel nerves, lad," Pimblett said. A packed venue of more than 17,000 fans chanted and cheered his every move in what UFC broadcaster John Gooden labeled "a carnival atmosphere." I absolutely love it, so I can't wait for the same again on Saturday. It's going to be spectacular. He doesn't come to finish. "He doesn't come to win fights. Now he's promising to repeat the trick at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 208 event in London against Jordan Leavitt (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC).

Ahead of UFC Fight Night 208, Paddy Pimblett says he's never been as "pissed off" at an opponent as he is at Jordan Leavitt.

He comes in to fight not to lose. He comes to fight not to lose. I’m going to hurt him. If I get the chance, I’m going to split him open with elbows or rearrange his face.” He doesn’t come to fight to win. “I’m going to take his head off,” Pimblett said. “I’m not going to be shooting on takedowns. “I’m gonna tea bag him like it’s Modern Warfare 2. “I’m gonna tea bag him, man,” Pimblett said. Since the matchup was announced in May, Leavitt has said he likes Pimblett but also indicated he’s not impressed with the budding U.K. star’s skills. Do you know what I mean?” Do you know what I mean?

Jordan Leavitt doesn't believe Paddy Pimblett will show him anything new when they battle it out at UFC London.

“We’ve done a lot of the same things, me and Paddy, but I’ve done it without taking any damage. “I’m not impressed with a lot of things,” Leavitt explained. He’s not the most accurate striker, he has one real knockout, he’s a regional champ, and I’ve done all of those things before.” “It fits me, it fits my message, and I’ve talked about twerking a lot in the past few months — more than I ever thought I would — so that’s kind of cool. I don’t follow him on social media and I didn’t really know anything about Paddy since his debut, so I don’t think I’ll be starstruck. Leavitt is unapologetically who he is, and he’s not planning on changing for anybody.
