Over seven months removed from his UFC London submission loss to polarizing lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett, Syndicate MMA challenger, Jordan Leavitt has revealed he is still receiving hateful and abusive messages from fans of the Liverpool native, labelling the entire attendance at the O2 Arena in July as “degenerates”.

Over seven months removed from his UFC London submission loss to polarizing lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett, Syndicate MMA challenger, Jordan Leavitt has revealed he is still receiving hateful and abusive messages from fans of the Liverpool native, labelling the entire attendance at the O2 Arena in July as “degenerates”.
Leavitt, who slumped to 10-2 as a professional with his eventual third round rear-naked choke submission loss to former Cage Warriors featherweight champion Pimblett, is slated to return at UFC Vegas 70 next weekend against Victor Martinez.
Prior to his submission loss to the outspoken Liverpool native, Leavitt had landed consecutive wins over both Matt Sayles, and Trey Ogden, having previously landed a slam KO win over Matt Wiman in his UFC debut.
Set to make his return against Martinez before the close of this month, Leavitt reflected on the media and fan response from his loss to Pimblett last summer, explaining how he still receives trolling and hateful messages from the latter.
“London sucks,” Jordan Leavitt told LowKick MMA reporter, Alex Behunin. “I’m never leaving the country (United States) again, America is the greatest country in the damn world. Throughout all of history – I don’t need to visit anywhere else to know that for truth. But, I’m kind of, you know – I’m really annoyed that I lost, I’m still embarrassed. I still have Paddy (Pimblett) fans that message crap to me. And I know if I block them – if I show them that they won, so I can’t block them, they’re never going to go away, and I hate you, I hate you so much.”
“… I’m annoyed by the loss, I learned a lot,” Jordan Leavitt explained. “But I’m never going to fight in front of a crowd as hostile as that. And in conclusion, people who get drunk like that before 9pm are degenerates. It was an entire arena of degenerates.”
“I learned a lot of that part of the fight game – about the social media game, the journalism game, the interview game,” Jordan Leavitt explained. “I’m jaded – I’m a little jaded. And I gotta highlight this kids, so you care about me again. And only my boy Alex cares.”
In his sole other professional loss, Leavitt suffered a defeat against Peruvian grappler, Claudio Puelles – and has managed to land an impressive six separate career submission victories.

Paddy Pimblett explained Jordan Leavitt must’ve suffered considerable damage in their bout at UFC London.
Going into his third UFC fight, Pimblett faced Leavitt in the promotion’s return to the UK for a second time this year. After an early grappling struggle in the opening round, Pimblett came back to secure a submission win over Leavitt to a boisterous crowd at London’s O2 Arena last month.
Things had gotten a bit heated during the build-up to their encounter but remained innocuous, if not cordial after the fight. The two were respectful towards each other after Pimblett tapped him out and even had a brief chat. However, “The Monkey King” got on the wrong side of the local fans for his comments after the event concluded.
In an interview with The MMA Holes, Leavitt had some harsh words for the Scouser’s hometown.
“The UK is the size of Alabama,” Leavitt said (ht Mirror). “That is very small and the fact that one of their guys in such a small part of the world is so popular. How can you not follow him, you know? He is from Liverpool. Liverpool is a dump. The O2 arena is also a dump.”
While Pimblett initially planned to share breakfast with his opponent following the fight, he did not get the chance to. Pimblett fired back at Leavitt’s comments stating that he must’ve took some damage from the bout.
“The better man isn’t he? Someone sent me it and I just started laughing,” Pimblett told reporters when asked about his former rival’s comments.
“I wanted to meet him for breakfast the following morning and give him a book I bought him, but not in a horrible way. And I was just going to say if you want to review it you are more than welcome to do it. It would probably get more clicks than his other book reviews just because I bought it.”
“He has been going around and saying ‘Liverpool is a dump’ and all kinds of things like that. He must still be concussed from that knee to the head because he has never been to Liverpool. London is nothing like Liverpool.”
