The majority of first round took place against the cage. With two minutes in, Pimblett got the neck of Leavitt but the American escaped. Leavitt took the back of âThe Baddyâ and kneed him in the face but with seconds left of the round Pimblett landed heavy shots on the ground.
In the second round the Liverpool fighter took Leavitt’s back and finished him with a rear-naked-choke.
In the post fight interview with UFC expert Michael Bisping, Paddy Pimblett promised that he will be back in the octagon one more time before the end of the year.
With the win, Pimblett is 3-0 in the UFC, with all wins coming via stoppage.
