‘Value is recognized and rewarded’

In the lead-up to the fight, Pimblett revealed that his sixth appearance inside the Octagon would mark the end of his current UFC contract. However, “The Baddy” raised eyebrows in an interview with MMA Junkie by hinting that he might step away from the MMA promotion in favor of high-profile boxing matches against YouTube influencers.

This revelation did not go down well with many fans, as Pimblett is a star in the European MMA scene and his popularity makes him a valued asset to the UFC.

To their relief, Pimblett’s manager and Cage Warriors promoter Graham Boylan recently confirmed on X that his client has re-signed with the MMA organization.

“The Baddy has signed a new deal with @ufc. He is very pleased that his value has been recognised and rewarded handsomely. Congratulations to all involved,” Boylan tweeted
