Paddy Pimblett was seen sporting severe black eyes just days after his UFC fight with Justin Gaethje. The Liverpudlian fighter was dropped twice in the first two rounds before losing on points, but was praised for his courage throughout the 25-minute contest.
After being discharged from hospital, Pimblett's wife Laura shared images on Instagram showing him with badly swollen eyes. In one photo without sunglasses, the 31-year-old looked unrecognisable due to the bruising. Laura captioned the post: "Forever proud of you. Love you so so much."
Despite his injuries, Pimblett attended his after-party at Zouk nightclub in Las Vegas. The venue welcomed him with signs reading "We love Paddy Pimblett". Reflecting on the loss, he told Joe Rogan: "You live and you learn; I'm 31, I will be back better."
