“But if it doesn’t happen that way, I want to go back to 145 pounds. I don’t care about the weight with Paddy.” “With Paddy, I don’t give a f*** about any weight class,” he added. “Really, he’s nobody,” Topuria said in Spanish. “He’s s***.

This could be as electric - perhaps as abrupt - as some of the other fights on the card. Arnold Allen and Dan Hooker will be the next duo to make that walk to the Octagon. "Not as clean a win as I'd like, maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10 - he got me with a good punch but a nice punch wakes me up in the morning!" And though his initial flurry is cooled off by Hooker, a pair of head kicks set up another Allen-dominated flurry and the referee steps in at the right time. The main card begins as explosively as much of the prelims were - Topuria weathers some great Round 1 offense from Herbert - including a flush head kick - before turning his lights clean out with a vicious right early in the second. And to cap off a night of blistering quick finishes, the Brit spends a few minutes slickly rotating through his fists, his feet and some choice takedowns before finding the armbar and getting Volkov to tap in relatively short order! Aspinall is next It's been a breathless card so far, and all that remains is the main event.

As UFC returns to London, Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann talk wrong-un Tory biscuits, Chattin' Pony and why there is no one like them in the game.

Meatball Molly looks up, her eyes shining as she thinks of herself and Paddy the Baddy. “We owe it all to this place and, on Saturday, we’ll light up the O. Paddy and me will show it’s not all talk or bravado or arrogance. It got me to where I’m going – to where Patrick and I are going.” I was thinking this was a good fight to show what scousers are made of because every step I’ve taken in life, every positive thing I’ve accomplished, I attribute to this city. “There had never been a female champ like me in Cage Warriors,” she says of the organisation where she made her name. Pimblett adds: “It’s going to be a scouse invasion of London and the only thing I can compare to it is when Conor McGregor fought in Dublin. But it’ll be louder than that. Thank you for representing the city so well.’ It meant so much because he understood lots of people will submit and tap out – but not me or my city.” “The reason I called it Chattin’ Pony is because, in Liverpool, it means you’re chatting a bit of shit. The documentary opens with her first UFC fight, in Liverpool in May 2018, and captures her devastation after she blacked out during a choking headlock. “I hate the establishment,” he says, “the royal family and the Tories.” He also talks about the contract – “worth well over a million pounds” – he has signed with the American company Barstool Sports and the vlogger from Philadelphia who has moved to Liverpool to follow him and post daily content online. Last September, in Las Vegas, the UFC was given its first taste of the Paddy and Molly Show as Pimblett made his debut and McCann entered the last fight on her contract. After she shows me her tattoo – “My city, my people, my heart” – in tribute to Liverpool, McCann says: “You’ll never meet another Patrick Pimblett or Molly McCann. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a girl and he’s a boy, but we push each other to be better versions of ourselves and don’t envy each other’s success. The two of us are totally mad characters but we come from the best and hardest city in the world.”

Paddy Pimblett takes on Kazula Vargas on the main card of UFC London. The fight is being hyped by many fans.

Vargas has power but he has struggled to get things going in the UFC. Staying off of the ground and keeping the fight on the feet is going to be very important for Vargas. He was out grappled in his UFC debut and there is a good chance it could happen here if he doesn’t stop the takedown. Kazula Vargas will be able to land some big punches and could provide a scary moment for Pimblett. The grappling will be an important point in the fight as there is a clear advantage for Pimblett. The first round will be an interesting one and the second round should be where there is a finish for the Liverpool native. The path to victory for Pimblett is by getting the fight to the ground and finding a slick submission. He has some holes in the grappling game and that will be a problem against the Englishman. Vargas will have the power on his side and it will be something to watch. UFC London sees the return of Paddy Pimblett in his second fight for the promotion. He had big knockouts on the regional scene but has had trouble translating that over to the UFC. Vargas is coming off of a big win over Rong Zhu by decision.

Paddy Pimblett was 'flattered' by comparison to UFC superstar Conor McGregor, but knows he 'is going to be bigger than him'.The sport's late.

I’m not trying to be anything I’m not and I think people love me for that.” I wear my heart on my sleeve inside and outside the cage. However, he’s already done enough to impress White, who said: “People love him.

"I'm going to be my same, usual self. I'm not trying to be anything I'm not and I think people love me for that." He said: "I want to get Anfield on. Where he brought 20-odd-year-olds to the sport, I'm going to bring four, five, six, seven, eight-year-olds into this sport who are going to be MMA fans for the rest of their lives. "I always try and finish the fight no matter what. "I am built for this," he said.

Now 27 years old, 1-0 in the UFC with a first-round finish, and with possibly the best post-fight interview of 2021, Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett has a lot ...

His striking is solid and varied, his defense is sound, and his offensive wrestling is good enough to hold opponents against the cage. His typical path to victory is to outlast and out-volume his opponents on his way to a close decision. Making this fight the matchup before the co-main event in London is no mistake. But, his traditional path to victory is not a blow for blow brawl, but, rather, grappling. Interestingly, though, the style we saw in his debut is not his typical fight strategy. Then, he amplified his hype by dazzling on the microphone like only he can do.

I was like, I want to see him fight. He needs to win, you know?” White said at the UFC London post-fight press conference. “But he did, and he did spectacularly ...

If you look at some of the guys that have come off the Contender Series and you watch the numbers and see what they do, you’ll see these guys either move right to pay-per-view or we headline them or put them in strong positions on Fight Nights. Paddy is definitely one of those guys that could be one.” And when he was in trouble, he came back and he turned the fight around and won. So all the talk going into the fight about his walkout and all this s***, listen, it’s real. His numbers say yes. I mean, his numbers say yes. “But he did, and he did spectacularly.

It was a massive one-punch knockout as Topuria made quite the impression in his lightweight debut. With Topuria trying to find his footing, Herbert uncorked a huge early head kick that landed flush, and it appeared that a finish could be possible. A head kick from Jai Herbert nearly ended Topuria’s night early, but he somehow recovered before making it to the final horn in the opening round.
