UFC lightweight Kazula Vargas doesn’t think Paddy Pimblett’s fame and popularity are warranted ahead of their matchup at UFC London.

Vargas and Pimblett will square off on the UFC London main card in front of what should be a raucous crowd at The O2 Arena. This will be Pimblett’s second fight in the UFC, and first in the U.K. since his time in Cage Warriors.

Vargas is looking to steal the show and earn a big win over Pimblett. He’s coming off of a unanimous decision win over Zhu Rong at UFC 261 last year.

Pimblett earned the main card slot due to a massive following. But, Vargas isn’t sure if Pimblett is deserving of the added attention this early in his UFC tenure.

During his UFC London pre-fight press conference, Vargas questioned whether or not Pimblett’s accolades in MMA are worth the intense hype ahead of their fight.

“It’s normal for him to have all this hype, he’s from London and most of his fights have been here. But I actually think he’s a bit of a kid. He’s got good things, but he’s got a lot of bad things as well.

“He’s probably overrated.”

Vargas went on to explain why he feels Pimblett is overrated and what he’s taken from his past performances.

“I haven’t seen all of his fights, but I’ve seen about five or six. I think he’s got a lot of holes in his fights and we’ll try to take advantage of that. But like all UFC fighters, we’re here because we’re the best and we’ll try to take advantage of those holes.”

Pimblett was arguably the biggest signing by the UFC in 2021, following a decorated stint in Cage Warriors. His debut arguably lived up to the immense hype with a first-round knockout of Luigi Vendramini last September.

Vargas is looking to back up his claim that Pimblett is overrated this weekend at UFC London. If he’s able to earn a win over Pimblett, he may steal some of his hype in the process.

Budding Lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett is booked to make his long-awaited return to the octagon on March 19th at UFC London against Kazula Vargas.

Budding Lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett is booked to make his long-awaited return to the octagon on March 19th at UFC London against Kazula Vargas.

The UFC London card will be a highly anticipated event as the MMA leader returns to the U.K. for the first time in three years and will feature a slew of the best fighters from the area.

Pimblett was previously rumored to return against Jared Gordon after Dana White claimed that was happening on The Dave Portnoy Show. That announcement was somewhat premature and this was emphasized by the fact Graham Boylan, who represent Pimblett, and Brian Butler, who represents Gordon, came out to deny what the UFC boss was saying.

‘The Baddy’ will instead face Kazula Vargas (12-4) who picked up his first UFC win back in April when he defeated Zhu Rong at UFC 261.

Pimblett will aim to capitalize on his spectacular 1st round KO of Luigi Vendramini in September and will be center stage in London for the UFC’s return. A win like that for Pimblett could fast-track the lightweight towards bigger fights as his social following grows drastically.

The main event of the card was announced today as Heavyweights Tom Aspinall and Alexander Volkov will go to battle in a pivotal matchup.
