Paddy Pimblett (23-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) is going to be entering some uncharted seas when he makes his return to the fabled Octagon later on in 2026. For the first time since joining the UFC’s active roster in September of 2021, he’ll be making the walk looking to shake off a defeat inside the cage.
If, by chance, you didn’t watch UFC 324 a week ago Saturday, Pimblett sustained his first defeat under the UFC banner by way of unanimous decision at the hands of “The Highlight,” Justin Gaethje (27-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) after 25 minutes of action inside T-Mobile Arena in Enterprise, NV.
