Pimblett said before UFC London that this is likely to be his last fight in London for several years. During BT Sport's post-event show, Bisping predicted that Pimblett and McCann's next fight would not be in London. He also suggested they could be back in front of their hometown fans next year by saying:
"They're not gonna come back here this soon... There's a massive fight going down in Madison Square Garden. You stick Molly McCann and Paddy 'The Baddy' on there and then in March, back here [London] again. That's probably something along the lines of what I think will happen."

The last UFC London event was underwhelming, but Pimblett and McCann put on spectacular performances. During the post-event show, Michael Bisping made an interesting comparison:
"They're not gonna come back here [London] this soon. Maybe they [UFC] will because of Molly and Paddy. That effect they have, kinda like the Conor McGregor effect."
Pimblett and McCann have become a package when it comes to booking fights. They feed off of each other's energy, and their fanbases overlap. Nothing is official or even rumored, but seeing them at Madison Square Garden in November would be exciting.
Paddy suffered a terrible loss when one of his friends committed suicide recently. Here's Paddy speaking about the issue:
"I know I'd rather they cry on my shoulder than go to his funeral next week. ... Let's get rid of this stigma and men start talking."
