Will fight Tony Ferguson
Pimblett will fight Tony Ferguson at UFC 296 on Dec. 16th according to Dana White.
ANALYSIS
The Baddy is officially back after missing extended time recovering from ankle surgery. While Pimblett is a rising star with his 4-0 record in the UFC, his last victory over Jared Gordon was hardly impressive, so he'll have plenty to prove after so much time away from the Octagon.

Luckiest man in Vegas
Pimblett defeated Jared Gordon via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 282 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Forget whomever won the progressive on a slot machine at a casino, the luckiest man in Vegas this evening was "Paddy The Baddy." It's impossible to figure out how even one judge scored this fight for Pimblett, let alone all three. Paddy was beaten up on the feet in Round 1 and plastered to the fence for nearly the entirety of Round 3. If you squint, perhaps Pimblett deserved Round 2, but it's impossible to make a case for more. Paddy ended up on the short end of a 100-97 count in total strikes landed, while Gordon landed the only three takedowns of the fight, good for 6:28 worth of control time. Good luck finding anyone -- other than the three guys that mattered -- that thought Paddy deserved the win here. This fight is going to be talked about for quite a while. For better or worse, Paddy improves to 4-0 in the UFC.
