Unfortunately for the Liverpool-based loudmouth, the fight still came with some setbacks. According to the man himself, the ankle injury he sustained in the fight came early on with Gordon’s first leg kick. ‘The Baddy’ was noticeably limping by the time he was leaving the cage.
Now, in a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Pimblett has revealed he may be out for longer than expected.
Paddy Pimblett To Undergo Ankle Surgery In March
‘The Baddy’ was hoping to be up and ready for UFC 286 in March. The event will be held in London with UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards defending against former champion Kamaru Usman.
A recent trip to the doctor’s, however, has revealed that Pimblett will be in no condition to fight on the card. During the video, Pimblett goes for a medical appointment to have his ankle looked at.
‘The Baddy’ has lost cartilage in the area and is also dealing with a good deal of swelling. Worse still, the Liverpudlian has a Grade 2 injury to the ligaments around his fibula. When it comes to injuries like this, Grade 2 typically suggests anything from 10-90 per cent tearing in the affected area. Recovery time is typically several weeks at a minimum.
If all goes well, ‘The Baddy’ should be able to make a comeback before the year’s over.
