Paddy Pimblett isn’t going anywhere after all.
The rising lightweight star has officially signed a new UFC contract ahead of his main card scrap with Bobby Green later tonight (Sat., July 27, 2024) at UFC 304 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Co-op Live in Manchester, England. Pimblett was entering this weekend with one fight left on his current deal.

“New contract signed,” said Pimblett. “I’m not going nowhere.”
Pimblett, who enters his third-straight PPV main card appearance later tonight at UFC 304, is one of the biggest English stars on the roster today. He may have encountered a few obstacles throughout his UFC career, but “The Baddy” is 5-0 inside of the Octagon and looks to be getting more and more confident each time he competes.
This weekend will be a huge test for the 29-year-old as he goes up against “King” in Manchester. Green is one of the savviest veterans in the lightweight division today and a guy who always delivers in big-time spots. It’s going to be up to Pimblett to shut him down early, find the finish, and prove why UFC made a good decision re-signing him.
