"My favorite thing from a fight - punch, knee elbow. That wasn't elbow. That was 'Hellbow.' I've never seen so much blood come out of someone's head that quick. I elbowed him and there was blood down my arm, it squared that quick over my arm. That's the first time I've dance around in the cage as well."
With Cage Warriors celebrating its 20th anniversary, Paddy Pimblett spent an integral amount of time with the promotion. He also won the featherweight title while he was with the organization. After moving up to lightweight, he challenged for the title but failed to win it. He eventually moved to the UFC and made his debut in 2021.
