Paddy Pimblett steps back into the Octagon this March when the UFC makes its long-awaited return to UK shores.
The Liverpool-born fighter had previously fought under the London-based Cage Warriors promotion but officially signed with the UFC in late March 2021.
Pimblett's UFC career got off to the best possible start last September with a knock-out victory over the Brazilian Luigi Vendramini.
His next challenge comes in the form of the 36-year-old Mexican Rodrigo Vargas who, like Pimblett, is relatively new to the UFC scene. Vargas has previously fought in several other worldwide promotions including Xtreme Kombat, Combate Americas, and the Jasaji Fighting League.
UFC Fight Night is coming to London on Saturday, March 19. It starts at the early UK time of 4pm.
