Paddy Pimblett's Injury Casts Doubt on UFC Return This Year
UFC lightweight fighter Paddy Pimblett may not be able to fight until 2024 due to severe ankle damage that required inner and outer-ligament surgery. Pimblett injured his foot during his last fight against Jared Gordon in December 2021. He remains on crutches and may need another six weeks to recover. Pimblett's unimpressive performance in his last fight has led to doubts about whether a potential rematch with Gordon will still be of interest when he returns to action.
