Paddy Pimblett scored another first round stoppage victory at UFC London.The 27-year-old secured a knockout win last September on his debut and he loc.

“Lad I’m going to punch your head in, I am sick of you. “I needed a punch to get woken up. After wearing Vargas down with strikes, Pimblett was able to get his hooks in and finally Vargas had no choice but to tap out to the rear-naked choke.

Aspinall needed less than one round to tap out heavyweight contender Alexander Volkov in the Fight Night main event, in what was his first contest under Dana ...

This could be as electric - perhaps as abrupt - as some of the other fights on the card. Arnold Allen and Dan Hooker will be the next duo to make that walk to the Octagon. "Not as clean a win as I'd like, maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10 - he got me with a good punch but a nice punch wakes me up in the morning!" And though his initial flurry is cooled off by Hooker, a pair of head kicks set up another Allen-dominated flurry and the referee steps in at the right time. The main card begins as explosively as much of the prelims were - Topuria weathers some great Round 1 offense from Herbert - including a flush head kick - before turning his lights clean out with a vicious right early in the second. And to cap off a night of blistering quick finishes, the Brit spends a few minutes slickly rotating through his fists, his feet and some choice takedowns before finding the armbar and getting Volkov to tap in relatively short order! Aspinall is next It's been a breathless card so far, and all that remains is the main event.

As UFC returns to London, Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann talk wrong-un Tory biscuits, Chattin' Pony and why there is no one like them in the game.

Meatball Molly looks up, her eyes shining as she thinks of herself and Paddy the Baddy. “We owe it all to this place and, on Saturday, we’ll light up the O. Paddy and me will show it’s not all talk or bravado or arrogance. It got me to where I’m going – to where Patrick and I are going.” I was thinking this was a good fight to show what scousers are made of because every step I’ve taken in life, every positive thing I’ve accomplished, I attribute to this city. “There had never been a female champ like me in Cage Warriors,” she says of the organisation where she made her name. Pimblett adds: “It’s going to be a scouse invasion of London and the only thing I can compare to it is when Conor McGregor fought in Dublin. But it’ll be louder than that. Thank you for representing the city so well.’ It meant so much because he understood lots of people will submit and tap out – but not me or my city.” “The reason I called it Chattin’ Pony is because, in Liverpool, it means you’re chatting a bit of shit. The documentary opens with her first UFC fight, in Liverpool in May 2018, and captures her devastation after she blacked out during a choking headlock. “I hate the establishment,” he says, “the royal family and the Tories.” He also talks about the contract – “worth well over a million pounds” – he has signed with the American company Barstool Sports and the vlogger from Philadelphia who has moved to Liverpool to follow him and post daily content online. Last September, in Las Vegas, the UFC was given its first taste of the Paddy and Molly Show as Pimblett made his debut and McCann entered the last fight on her contract. After she shows me her tattoo – “My city, my people, my heart” – in tribute to Liverpool, McCann says: “You’ll never meet another Patrick Pimblett or Molly McCann. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a girl and he’s a boy, but we push each other to be better versions of ourselves and don’t envy each other’s success. The two of us are totally mad characters but we come from the best and hardest city in the world.”

Arnold Allen stormed past Dan Hooker and Molly McCann produced a knockout of the year contender.

“I’m never, ever, ever, ever in a boring fight, lad,” Pimblett said after his victory – his second in the UFC, with his promotional debut last year also ending via first-round stoppage. The result saw Mokaev remain unbeaten, his record improving to 6-0. The finish sent the O2 into raptures, in a moment to rival Pimblett’s win later in the night. The Liverpudlian lightweight was knocked down by Rodrigo Vargas almost immediately, but he rallied to take down the Mexican and submit him with a rear naked choke later in the first round. Prior to the finish, Arnold had dealt significant damage to Hooker – who was returning to 145lbs from lightweight – but also survived an apparent moment of trouble caused by a stiff punch from the “Hangman”. Allen somehow got right back to throwing punches, however, and a one-two gave way to a head kick that initiated the finishing sequence. Seven of those combatants were victorious in the English capital, with six winning via stoppage.

Pimblett was hailed by UFC president Dana White, after sending Londons O2 Arena wild with a spectacular submission victory over Mexicos Rodrigo Vargas.

"I get hit with a big shot, and it was a sloppy takedown attempt from me to be honest. "Who wouldn't be interested in that fight? When he was in trouble, he came back and turned the fight around and won.

Paddy Pimblett takes on Kazula Vargas on the main card of UFC London. The fight is being hyped by many fans.

Vargas has power but he has struggled to get things going in the UFC. Staying off of the ground and keeping the fight on the feet is going to be very important for Vargas. He was out grappled in his UFC debut and there is a good chance it could happen here if he doesn’t stop the takedown. Kazula Vargas will be able to land some big punches and could provide a scary moment for Pimblett. The grappling will be an important point in the fight as there is a clear advantage for Pimblett. The first round will be an interesting one and the second round should be where there is a finish for the Liverpool native. The path to victory for Pimblett is by getting the fight to the ground and finding a slick submission. He has some holes in the grappling game and that will be a problem against the Englishman. Vargas will have the power on his side and it will be something to watch. UFC London sees the return of Paddy Pimblett in his second fight for the promotion. He had big knockouts on the regional scene but has had trouble translating that over to the UFC. Vargas is coming off of a big win over Rong Zhu by decision.

Reed flows nicely on the feet for the first half of the opener but it is McKenna who lands the shot of the round. Other than a McKenna takedown in the final few seconds, the second five minutes was fought upright with Reed appearing to edge the exchanges although they were few and far between. He was warned about a groin strike but had the better of the first five minutes and secured a brief takedown, although Shore rose back up with ease. He was well and truly done by a master in jiu-jitsu, thowing up a triangle and locking it in That first round had filled him with the confidence to exchange but it was ill advised and the power, placement and timing shut the lights out. Landing creative flurries to the delight of the crowd who are right behind her and it is deafening in here. A unanimous decision win coming up for the Icelander who basically was in the same position for 15 minutes. The Mexican reluctantly taps out and Pimblett has his second first-round finish in the UFC. Arnold Allen comes out to We Will Rock You and this is the biggest fight of his career. No doubt buoyed by some incredible performances from his countrymen and women on the card, his finish was the perfect flourish to the night. The Russian battled to his feet but soon found himself on the flat of his back once more. His fluidity with all limbs was far too much for Volkov and the 28-year-old made the No 6-ranked heavyweight look stiff as a board.

It was an amazing night for British fighters on the first UFC London card in three years.Tom Aspinall did the business in the main event, but there we.

In the second round he began to find some real joy in his grappling and was able to smother his Japanese counterpart against the cage. Aspinall looked excellent on his feet and in the grapple. What a night for British UFC fighters. Round two saw McCann secure a takedown that may well have swayed an otherwise even round on the feet. Around 10 minutes after the blow, the Brazilian was helped by our media tables and she could barely open her eyes. A success from that standpoint. That’s six fights unbeaten for Craig with five wins and a draw. The Mancunian completely dominated his Russian foe and with his second takedown he managed to lock in a reverse armbar that forced Volkov to tap. Then, in the final round, McCann scored a spinning back elbow that knocked Carolina out into next week. What a debut! Shore knocked the Russian down in round three and desperately tried to synched in a chokehold, but Valiev evaded well and found a guillotine of his own as the round hit the halfway mark. A stunning short left-hook from Shore dropped Valiev again in the final minute of the round and that led to a wild exchange, but Shore ended up securing the takedown that would make sure he won the fight.
