Paddy Pimblett passed his biggest test yet.
The UFC lightweight sensation nearly set off a riot inside the O2 Arena at UFC London with his first-round rear-naked choke submission of Kazula Vargas on Saturday’s main card. Once again, Pimblett overcame early adversity before sealing the deal and setting off a raucous celebration for his English countrymen.
Check out how the pros reacted to Pimblett’s second UFC victory below.

I think Topuria or Frevola would be a great match up, if that doesn’t happen. https://t.co/UxrvU2GJ5e
