Paddy Pimblett, better known as "The Baddy", holds the #5 spot at lightweight, flying the flag for England — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
The ground is where fights end: 11 wins by submission (46% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
Most recent outing: a win over Benoît Saint Denis via submission (d'arce choke) r1. Business handled.
