"Degenerate" Paddy Pimblett fans still sending hateful DMs, says former opponent of 'The Baddy'
UFC star Paddy Pimblett's fans are apparently still heckling a former opponent of the Liverpudlian.
During a recent interview with LowKick MMA, UFC lightweight Jordan Leavitt revealed that he is still upset with his loss to Pimblett. Leavitt was submitted by 'The Baddy' in the second round of their meeting at UFC London last year.

The loss to the Brit marked just the beginning of Leavitt's problems. The experience of fighting in London has left him with a foul impression of English fans. During the interview, 'The Monkey King' stated that Pimblett's fans are still harassing him on social media.
Claiming that he will never leave the United States for a fight again, Leavitt said:
"London s**ks. I'm never leaving the country again. America is the greatest country in the d**n world throughout all of history... But I'm kind of you know, I'm really annoyed that I'm lost [against Paddy Pimblett]. I'm still embarrassed, I still have Paddy fans that message c**p to me."
Labeling the notoriously raucous English fans as "degenerates," he added:
"And I know if I block them, I just show them that they won, so I can't block them. So they are never going to go away and I hate you, I hate you soo much, but that's part and parcel of this game and I'm annoyed by the loss, but I learned a lot, but I'm never going to fight in front of a crowd as hostile as that... People who gets that drunk before 9 PM are degenerates. It was an entire arena of degenerates."

Jordan Leavitt targeting highlight reel finish in his next fight to get over loss to Paddy Pimblett
In the same interview, Jordan Leavitt revealed that he was "hurt" when people ghosted him after his loss to Paddy Pimblett. 'The Monkey King' revealed that he intends to get a highlight reel finish against Victor Martinez next weekend to rekindle his standing among fans:
"The biggest thing I learned from the Paddy fight was [that] everyone disappears after a high-profile fight. Like before the Paddy fight everyone was pestering me... Then I lost the Paddy fight and I've had three people reached out to me... It hurt my feelings, I thought we were friends... So I've got to highlight this kid so that way you guys care about me again."
Leavitt's professional record stands at 10-2, with both his career losses coming inside the UFC octagon. His upcoming opponent, Victor Martinez, will be making his promotional debut this weekend after earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series back in 2021.
