British UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett has revealed when he will be able to return to the promotion's Octagon after undergoing surgery on the leg he injured in his fight with Jared Gordon.
I had to get surgery after my last fight. For how long will I walk on crutches? Could be for another six weeks. I’ve already been on them (crutches) for six, six and a half… I’ll be lucky to fight this year.

Pimblett fought Jared Gordon at UFC 282 in December 2022. The fight lasted the whole distance and ended in Paddy's favor by unanimous decision. He has a record of 20 wins and three losses.
