Paddy Pimblett is coming off a controversial and highly debatable unanimous-decision win against Jared Gordon in December 2022 under the UFC 282: Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev pay-per-view event inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It was Pimblett’s first decision victory in the UFC, as he finished his first three opponents. Despite the criticisms, “The Baddy” remains undefeated under the promotion.

Because of this 4-0 record under the Dana White-headed MMA organization, Pimblett has become a favorite name in online sports betting, particularly on UFC odds. But when will the U.K.’s MMA superstar return to action? And who will he face next?

When is Paddy Pimblett’s Next Fight?

Paddy Pimblett’s return inside the Octagon is still unknown, but a rematch with Jared Gordon to settle the controversial result in their first meeting is an idea being floated around the MMA community. If a rematch with Gordon doesn’t work out, Pimblett could be pitted against Renato Moicano, Drew Dober, or Grant Dawson, who are all ranked lightweight contenders to fight ranked challengers finally.
