Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett made his MMA Hour debut on Monday night, and it did not disappoint.
The Cage Warriors featherweight champ has been building a reputation for himself with his emphatic performances over the past few years, but his title win last week appears to have been the tipping point as a 'big announcement' is expected any day now regarding his professional future.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on his MMA Debut, the comparisons to Conor McGregor, which are incredibly difficult to ignore, were discussed and the Liverpool fighter admitted that it does his head in, despite knowing that they are meant in a positive light.
But before that, Helwani tried his best to get an exclusive regarding where Pimblett has signed to fight.
Yeah... He's going to be fighting in the UFC very soon. He even dropped a "now I'm going to the UFC" later in the interview.
This is very exciting for those who have been following Pimblett's career. It is very clear that he has something special about him and everything he has said so far he has managed to back up in his fights.
If he has indeed signed with the UFC then it will be very interesting to see who is picked as his first opponent, but you will be hearing a lot more about Paddy Pimblett after his MMA hour appearance, which funnily enough was very similar to McGregor's.
Helwani even said the last time that he has such demand to get a non-UFC fighter on his show was for Conor, so if you still don't know who he is, then do your homework.
