Has Paddy Pimblett's Twitter account been suspended ahead of UFC London?
As many Paddy Pimblett fans will know, the Englishman isn't one to mince his words and is often the talking point within the MMA world. However, for reasons currently unknown, Pimblett's Twitter account has been suspended ahead of his UFC London clash with Jordan Leavitt.
When viewing the UFC fighter's Twitter profile, it simply states:
"Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter Rules"
However, if you're keen to still keep tabs on 'The Baddy', then the Scouser's Instagram is where you need to go, with his profile still active on the social media platform.
This isn't the first time Paddy Pimblett has been suspended from a social media platform, with 'The Baddy' first being banned on Instagram. The rising UFC star stated to James Lynch last August that a fan "must have" reported him after an altercation on the social networking service.
Paddy Pimblett got into a back-and-forth debate with a Manchester City fan, which allegedly led to 'The Baddy' being suspended on Instagram. His account has since been reinstated. Pimblett said:
"Someone on me Instagram was giving me grief. Saying stuff to me. He's from Wales, he was from Bristol. And he was a Manchester City fan. So I told him to go and support his local team. And he started trying to give me s*** back-and-forth so I put him on my story and gave him some stick. He must have reported me like a little b***h."

The Scouser's charisma and octagon performances have boosted his following massively, with Pimblett's Instagram currently sitting at 1.1 million followers. After only fighting in the UFC a handful of times, it's a very impressive number.
