Cage Warriors star Paddy Pimblett is set to make his UFC debut at UFC Vegas 36 in the main card. The Liverpool prospect has been wanted by the Ultimate Fighting Championship for a long time and he has finally accepted to fight under the banner. UFC Vegas 36 takes place on September 4th at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Paddy will take on Luigi Vendramini, who is also a newbie to the competition having two fights under his belt for the UFC. He is 1-1 in the promotion and is coming off a loss against Fares Ziam at UFC 263. He has a record of 9-2-0 in his professional career. Pimblett on the other hand has a fairly better record and experience of 16-3-0 in his career.

“I’ve always known is not a matter of if the UFC wants to sign me, it’s when. It was always coming. You know, look at me. I have the personality, the look and I can fight. I’m a marketer’s wet dream,” Pimbelett said on Wednesday. “Being here is great. I can’t wait to go later. It’ll be the first-ever time that I’ve been. All the proper UFC officials are here. All the head honchos, lad. They all want to see the new cash chow, lad. The new main man.”

“So I’m here to headlock Dana and Hunter and Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard, lad. I’m here to get them all in a headlock later and let them know who the new kid on the block is. I’m going to be the new face of this sport, lad, and I’m not going to do that with a 29-28 decision,” said. The event will be headlined by Darren Till and Derek Brunson.
