Paddy Pimblett’s claims about Scousers
Paddy Pimblett made his UFC debut against Luigi Vendramini on the main card at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Till.
Pimblett came out as the early aggressor with kicks while Vendramini swung back with counters. After trading calf kicks, Pimblett caught ‘The Italian Stallion’ with a hard left.
In response, Vendramini rocked Pimbett with a left hook, switched to double leg and took him to the canvas. However, ‘The Baddy’ scrambled back to his feet and answered back with a couple of shots.
