A long road to Recovery
It can be recalled that Pimblett revealed that he sustained an ankle injury early in his last fight against Jared Gordon at UFC 282. Since then, “The Baddy” said he has gone through a series of surgeries, making his inactivity longer than expected.
Pimblett is eager to make a UFC return ASAP but he previously said it will only be a stroke of luck if he manages to get cleared to fight within the current year.
“When the actual swelling went down and I went in to get surgery, it was a lot worse than they thought. I had to get in and out ligament surgery, well, reconstruction… I’ll be lucky to fight this year,” Pimblett said.
Despite the controversy in his last fight, Pimblett has remained unbeaten in the UFC, having gone 4-0 in all his fights under the promotion. His current pro MMA record stands at 20-3.
