Ever since it was announced that heโd be swapping the yellow gloves of CW for the black gloves of the UFC, Pimblett has wasted no time whatsoever in marketing himself on social media.
In his most recent tweet, he made it clear that he thinks everyone will want to tune in and watch him compete.
โLove me or hate me theyโll wanna see me fight.โ
Pimblett is best known for being one of the most popular combat sports stars to come out of Liverpool in the last few years. His signing comes after the likes of Darren Till and Molly McCann also made noise in the UFC as prominent Scousers.
The truth of the matter right now is that nobody can say for sure, one way or the other, what kind of a run Pimblett will have in the big leagues.
Thereโs no denying some of the skills heโs been able to exhibit in Cage Warriors in the past, but he also has a few losses on his record.
The 155 pound division features some of the scariest fighters the UFC has on their roster and you could argue itโs also the most stacked. Alas, โThe Baddyโ isnโt the type of chap who would back down from a challenge - instead, heโll walk right into the fire in an attempt to prove his doubters wrong.
Thatโs the attitude you need in order to succeed at the highest level in mixed martial arts and thatโs what weโve consistently seen from him in Cage Warriors. Through all of his adversity and canceled fights, heโs still had a smile on his face and thousands of fans chanting his name.
Thatโs what we call star power.
