It may be a while until UK fans see Paddy Pimblett back in the Octagon on home soil with the Liverpool star looking to fight in the United States on main event cards.
It comes after the Scouser has risen to super stardom after his three wins in the UFC with his unique personality and exciting fighting style.
Pimblett has already been offered the chance to fight in Madison Square Garden, New York City at UFC 281 alongside Israel Adesanya and Molly McCann.

However, Pimblett has revealed that he's not truly interested in that card, and is looking to fight in Las Vegas the following month at UFC 282 - saying he has 'his eyes set on the card' on Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast - an event which is expected to feature the legendary Jon Jones.
Last month, Pimblett defended his UFC unbeaten streak when he fought in London, defeating Jordan Leavitt at the O2 Arena, his toughest opponent to date, after locking in a rear-naked choke in the second round.
It was a statement win for Pimblett, who many continue to raise doubts due to the level of his opponents so far, but Leavitt is seen as an up-and-coming fighter in the division with a strong record.
However, his next opponent has yet to be revealed.
