Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett will fight on the upcoming UFC London event card.
The UFC is officially coming back to London for the first time in three years, with a scheduled fight night in just 59 days.
President and founder Dana White confirmed the news that the event will be held on March 19 at the 02 Arena, with Paddy named along with Liverpool's Molly McCann who is set to fight Luana Carolina.
The Liverpudlian had been hopeful of fighting in London after his quick jump to stardom following his spectacular UFC debut in September with a victory over Luigi Vendramini.
His performance that night put 'Paddy the Baddy' on the map, with his Instagram account blowing up to 860,000 followers - and signing a seven-figure deal with US digital media company Barstool Sports.
His triumph against Vendramini came in impressive fashion, whilst being on the receiving end of some blows - making it an exciting fight for fans to witness.
And Pimblett named Gordon as a man who he'd like to fight. Now, he's got him.
He told Michael Bisping on his podcast: "After he mentioned me, I thought me and Jared Gordon might get matched together. But as I say, I’ve got no idea, we’ll see what happens.
"He mentioned me in his post-fight interview and he beat my former teammate, I would like to fight Jared Gordon.
"He beat my mate [Chris Fishgold] so obviously I would like to beat him and he’s on a three fight win streak. His last loss was to [Charles] Oliveira."
It'll be a tough fight for Pimblett, fighting a man who recently fought lightweight champion Oliveira - but a win in front of his home crowd would elevate his stature exponentially.
This will be the first time a Fight Night will take place in London for three years - which saw a huge night of bouts with a number of ranked fighters in the octagon.
Elsewhere, British fighters Leon Edwards, Darren Till and Tom Aspinall are all expected to fight on the card.
Fights are expected to be announced in the coming days and weeks.
