Paddy Pimblett Losses: Has the UFC Star Ever Lost a Fight?

Paddy  ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett burst into the UFC scene by getting the whole of the UK behind him. With his signature bob cut and distinctive Liverpool accent, the Englishman stands apart from all other fighters on the UFC’s nearly 600-strong roster. Though undefeated in the UFC so far, how did Pimblett perform before he joined the UFC?

Paddy Pimblett is undefeated in the UFC. However, ‘The Baddy’ has had three losses in his career before joining the Las Vegas-based promotion. Here are the details of all his losses in MMA.

How many losses has Paddy Pimblett got?

Paddy Pimblett suffered his first loss early on in his career. On his fifth outing inside the cage, Pimblett lost to Cameron Else via submission in a bantamweight bout at Cage Warriors Fighting Championship (CWFC 60). Cameron Else was able to secure an Anaconda Choke quite early into the first round, forcing Pimblett to tap.

Pimblett’s second loss came at the hands of Nad Narimani at featherweight in the main event of CWFC 82. Though Pimblett was riding on a 9-fight win streak at the time, Nad Narimani was able to stop the hype train. Narimani won on all three of the judges’ scorecards by scoring 48-47, 49-46 and 50-49.

‘The Baddy’ suffered his third loss against Soren Bak at CW 96 via Unanimous Decision. Pimblett had his sights set on joining Conor McGregor as a double champ in Cage Warriors. However, Bak foiled his aspirations by working more than Pimblett in the fight to secure a decision win over him. The judges scored the contest, 48-44, 48-45, and 48-46. All in favor of Soren Bak.

Despite the three losses, Pimblett has a pretty respectable resume with 15 finishes in his 21 wins. But his next challenge against Bobby Green could be a true test for Paddy. The last time a fighter pushed him to the limits was at UFC 282.

What happened when Paddy Pimblett fought Jared Gordon?

From being one of the most hyped, fan-favorite fighters in the UFC, Paddy Pimblett went to become one of the most hated. The beginning of the end for Pimblett could be traced back to one fight- Paddy Pimblett’s UFC 282 clash against Jared Gordon in December 2022.

The three-round contest went to the distance, with Pimblett being adjudged the winner on all three judges’ scorecards. This came as a surprise to almost everyone since the fight had been incredibly close, at least on the feet, with both men landing roughly the same number of strikes. On the other hand, Gordon had a clear advantage in grappling and even managed over six minutes of control time in the bout.

Even Joe Rogan, who entered the octagon after Pimblett-Gordon for the post-fight interview, would ask Pimblett what his reaction was to the “close fight” While the Scouser would tell Rogan he was puzzled why people felt the fight was close, fans, and even other fighters overwhelmingly felt that the result was a robbery.

Most felt that Pimblett did not deserve a unanimous decision and at least a split decision would have been understandable. Pimblett’s reaction to the bout and insistence that he clearly won would also contribute significantly to fans turning against the Englishman.
