The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Friday announced that Paddy Pimblett will face Jordan Leavitt in a lightweight clash as part of a UFC Fight Night event on July 23 in London. Pimblett received one of the biggest pops during the UFCâs latest foray into England, and the Nevada-based promotion undoubtedly wants to strike while the iron remains hot.

In his most recent appearance, Leavitt (10-1, 3-1 UFC) edged Trey Ogden thanks to a narrow split decision at UFC on ESPN 34. Prior to that, the Dana Whiteâs Contender Series graduate scored an ultra-rare inverted triangle choke finish at the expense of Matt Sayles at UFC Fight Night 199 in December. So far, only Claudio Puelles has managed to solve âThe Monkey King,â as he outpointed Leavitt in June 2021.
The upcoming UFC Fight Night event will go down at the O2 Arena, headlined by a heavyweight clash between Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes. In the co-main event, former 170-pound title challenger Darren Till collides with Jack Hermansson at 185 pounds.
