When is Paddy Pimblett's Next UFC Fight?

Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett has been an exciting presence in UFC's lightweight division since 2021. The 29-year-old Englishman has gone to a split verdict in his last two appearances, edging the first one on home soil against Gavin Tucker before coming out on the wrong side of another at UFC 282 opposite Jared Gordon.
Pimblett arrived in the UFC with a first-round knockout of Luigi Vendramini before submitting veteran Rodrigo Vargas. Victories over Shayan "The Warrior" Golshaeyan, and former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson put him squarely on the map as one of the budding stars at 155 pounds.
There's been backlash about his fluctuating weight and lifestyle outside of fight camps, but Pimblett has proven he can transform his body on short notice. How he fights, along with his unique personality and a large legion of loyal supporters, has helped him gain a reputation as one the most talked about fighters on UFC.
When and Who Will be the Next Fight of Paddy?
Paddy Pimblett is to face Bobby Green at UFC 304 on July 27,007. Bobby "King" awaits in a highly anticipated lightweight battle.
Pimblett vs. Green is Pimblett's first fight of 2024 following his win over Tony Ferguson last December. It again shows that Pimblett can still shed a lot of weight at very short notice. In addition to top-level competition, he faces 37-year-old Green, who has won three wins from four fights.
Having previously been ridiculed for his weight fluctuation, Pimblett makes no apologies about living life how he enjoys it rather than being 'ripped' 24/7. Despite the mindset, it has not deterred or discouraged his performances in the cage. Pimblett is a tough fighter who can do many things and finish fights.
Pimblett vs Green Fight Analysis
Green, a long-time fighter with an impressive professional record of 26-13-1, will use his technical striking and grappling expertise to offset the younger Pimblett's unorthodox but dynamic style. Pimblett's youth, power, and ability to finish could provide major issues for the 37-year-old Green.
The robust backing from British traveling fans is expected to benefit Pimblett. It has worked well for other UK fighters in the past, and Pimblett will surely look to lean on that support.
Predictions and Speculation
According to oddsmakers, Pimblett enters the fight as a narrow favorite, with his current money line pegged at approximately 102 by most sportsbooks. Those odds reflect a competitive nature to this fight, with Green's experience and technique making him an intriguing underdog.
Pimblett winning at UFC 304 would no doubt shoot him to the upper echelons of his division, and he could easily be booked against a top 10, even top 5 opponents, for his next fight. Given his increased profile and UFC's seemingly keen interest in pushing him as a star, it doesn't seem entirely out of the question to suggest Pimblett could well headline or co-main event another promotion sometime soon.
