One of the most popular and outspoken fighters in the UFC today, Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett has built a devoted following with his all-action style, his Scouse charisma, and his rise from Cage Warriors champion to genuine UFC lightweight contender. With a professional record of 23 wins and 4 losses, the Liverpool fighter remains one of the biggest draws in British MMA.
Paddy Pimblett's next fight sees him return to the Octagon for the first time since the most painful night of his career, taking on France's Benoit Saint Denis in the co-main event of UFC 329 on Saturday 11 July 2026 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The lightweight clash marks Pimblett's first outing since losing to Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title in January 2026.
Pimblett heads into the fight as the betting underdog, with Saint Denis installed as a moderate favourite off the back of a four-fight finishing streak. "The Baddy" suffered the first defeat of his UFC career at UFC 324, when Justin Gaethje out-pointed him across five rounds to claim the interim lightweight title by unanimous decision. That loss snapped Pimblett's nine-fight unbeaten run in the promotion and, crucially, cost him the chance to face undisputed champion Ilia Topuria in a long-awaited grudge match.
While Gaethje went on to challenge Topuria for the undisputed belt at the White House in June, Pimblett begins the climb back towards title contention a month later. Benoit Saint Denis (17-3) represents a dangerous test. The French former special forces soldier, nicknamed "God of War", arrives on a four-fight win streak with all four victories coming by stoppage, including a TKO of Dan Hooker at UFC 325. A win puts Pimblett firmly back in the lightweight title picture, while a second straight loss would be a major setback for one of the UK's biggest combat sports stars.
