Paddy Pimblett Set for July 11 Return

UFC lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett now has a date set for his return to the Octagon. The Englishman last competed in January, where he suffered a decision loss to Justin Gaethje in an interim UFC lightweight title bout.

In an interview with BBC Sport, Pimblett revealed his comeback date has been finalized. He is slated to fight again at UFC 329, an event that will headline the promotion's annual "International Fight Week" in Las Vegas. The event is scheduled for July 11.

While Pimblett confirmed his UFC return date, he did not disclose the name of his opponent. Potential adversaries previously rumored include Benoit Saint-Denis, Mateusz Gamrot, Arman Tsarukyan, Dan Hooker, and Renato Moicano, all of whom appear to be viable options.
