Being a father changed Paddy Pimblett’s career perspective.
Making its promotional debut in 2022, “The Baddy” was an instant hit with fans due to its infectious charisma and highlight reel finish. Since then, Pinblett has won six straight wins within the Octagon, and is hours away from the toughest tests of his career when he met former Bellator champion “Iron” Michael Chandler at UFC 313 this Saturday night in Miami.
Pinblett, who beat Chandler, gets one big win from his first shot at UFC Gold, potentially one big win. But Ribapudrian doesn’t fight for fame, good fortune and world titles alone.
Paddy Pimblett discusses his journey to his father
Around the same time last year, Pinblett became a father after his wife, Laura, gave birth to twin baby girls.
“To be honest, I changed my life in every possible way,” Pinblet said it was embedded in UFC 314 while talking about being a father. “I get up early every day. I have to put these kids to bed every night. To be fair, Laura does most of it. She’ll do more on me.
“I used to take a lot of things for granted. I used to rely on talent. But “hard work means that if talent doesn’t work hard, it beats talent.” So people have seen a lot of improvements with me. ”
Back in his days competing under Cage Warriors Banner, Pimblett won the final eight consecutive battles. On his latest outing, he put King Green to sleep through a smooth triangular chalk in the opening round of the UFC 304 Clash in Manchester.
Before that, “Buddy” defeated former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson.
