Lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett will be in the UFC rankings when they’re updated following his UFC 304 first-round submission win over King Green on Saturday.  

Green entered the fight ranked 15th in the lightweight division and was coming off a UFC 300 dominating performance over Jim Miller.  It was the toughest test of Pimblett’s career and “The Baddy” rose to the challenge.  

Green looked to get Pimblett to the canvas but Pimblett quickly applied a guillotine choke and pulled guard midway through the first round.  The Englishman transitioned to a triangle choke and locked it in.  While Green was caught in the triangle choke, Pimblett applied an arm bar.  Green went unconscious from the triangle choke.  With the win, Pimblett extended his winning streak to eight consecutive fights.

“Statement made b*tches,” Pimblett said following the submission win.  “I’m the first person to submit Bobby in the UFC.  That’s a statement to all you haters out there.”

“I’ve got a ranking next to my name now haven’t it, so suck this,” Pimblett continued.

Pimblett dedicated the win to a boy who lost his life to cancer at the age of 7.  “I just want to dedicate this fight to little Chaddy The Baddy.  Seven years of age, he lost his life to cancer.  His name is Chad Jones, but he called himself ‘Chaddy The Baddy.’  He was a ‘Baddy’ fan, so little man, that’s for you.”
