While speaking to the press, 'The Monkey King' stated that Luigi Vendramini and Rodrigo Vargas were both cut from the organization after losing to Pimblett. The statement is true, with Vendramini being cut from the UFC roster after going 1-3 in his UFC career. Pimblett's other opponent, Vargas, was also removed from the organization's roster after losing three of his four UFC bouts. Bloodbath….Bloodbath…. When a reporter asked Leavitt if he's looking to try and steal Paddy Pimblett's momentum, 'The Monkey King' was dismissive of the Liverpudlian's achievements: "He doesn't really have momentum. You know, he beat two guys that aren't even on the roster anymore." Watch Leavitt speak to the press here: What this essentially means is that at this moment in time, Pimblett hasn't fought an active UFC fighter since joining the organization. It's not a great look for 'The Baddy' and shows that Jordan Leavitt is a step-up in competition for the Englishman. Leavitt is currently 3-1 in the UFC, losing only to Claudio Puelles via unanimous decision in his second bout in the organization. 'The Monkey King' is currently on a two-fight win streak after beating both Matt Sayles and Trey Ogden in back-to-back bouts.
