His growing popularity didn’t take much time to catch the eye of the UFC authorities, eventually leading to his signing.

Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett talks about fatherhood
In episode one of the UFC 314 Embedded Series, Pimblett quoted, “It’s changed my life in every way possible to be honest… I’m up early everyday. I’ve got to put these to bed, every night. To be fair, Laura does most of it, like Laura picks up a lot of the slack. It makes me train harder, you know what I mean? You feel like you want to quit, you just think of these cause I’m putting food on the table for these so I’ve trained a lot harder than I used to. I used to take a lot of stuff for granted. I used to rely on my talent but as the saying goes, hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard so I think that’s why people have seen a lot of improvements in me.”
