Jordan Leavitt Feels Unworthy of Paddy Pimblett Rematch Following Controversial Decision: “I Don’t Deserve It”

Paddy Pimblett is currently one of the hottest prospects in the UFC. Since his debut in 2021, ‘The Baddy’ has garnered a huge fan base with his exploits in the cage. However, his last outing against Jared Gordon at UFC 282 left him a polarising figure after a controversial victory. Nevertheless, Pimblett currently boasts an impressive 4-0 record in the UFC. Interestingly, one of those four opponents is chomping at the bits to have another go at Pimblett.

Pimblett’s former opponent and UFC lightweight Jordan Leavitt recently expressed his interest to run it back with the Scouser. In their first fight in July 2022, Pimblett submitted Leavitt in the second round. However, after his most recent win inside the octagon, Leavitt has his sights sets on Paddy Pimblett again.

In an interview with ‘The Schmo’, Jordan Leavitt confessed his desire to run it back with Paddy Pimblett. However, the 11-2 fighter had a realistic approach to his desire.

Speaking to ‘The Schmo’, he said, “I would love that fight again, but I don’t deserve it. So I’m about to keep stacking bodies, keep getting highlights, keep knocking people out until I get that fight back.”

‘The Monkey King’ has won five out of his seven bouts in the UFC. If he can put up performances like his most recent one, a rematch with Pimblett may materialize.

He said, “I hate losing. I am so glad the last fight in my mind is gonna be this. It’s gonna be a dominant win and an impressive showing from me not to be cocky but am very happy am very impressed with myself.”

An openly gay UFC fighter, Leavitt also talked about overcoming being bullied about his sexuality and speech impediments. He said, “I have been bullied my entire life and being bullied off and win does not hurt at all. They can bully me all they want until I lose the next one. Better stop. That would be nice and free speech should be legal.”
