Sports news » Paddy Pimblett Targets October Return in Abu Dhabi

Popular British UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett has revealed his plans to compete again in October. The fighter intends to return to the octagon at an event taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Pimblett shared his timeline, stating, “I will definitely fight again this year. Even before the fight with Chandler, I planned to fight in Abu Dhabi in October. There always holds a pay-per-view tournament in October. I think it will be the perfect time for a comeback. Over the summer, I will regain my strength, train every day, lose weight, and return to the camp in August.”

His upcoming fight will be his first since defeating Michael Chandler via knockout at UFC 314 on April 13.
