Paddy Pimblett’s Net Worth [2026] Including UFC Earnings
Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett is one of the more popular fighters in the UFC. He has generated a huge profile since signing for the promotion. Pimblett has risen up the ranks as a professional under the stewardship of a number of MMA promotions such as Cage Warriors to make his way to the Octagon.
Paddy ‘The Baddy’ has been compared to UFC superstar Conor McGregor by some considering his growing fanbase and ability to sell out arenas. It remains to be seen if he can get anywhere near the mainstream star power of the Irish fighter. However, the 31-year-old has proven his drawing power and is now headlining the UFC’s debut show on Paramount+.
Here is everything you need to know about the net worth of Pimblett, including his earnings, endorsement deals and more.
| Name: | Paddy Pimblett |
|---|---|
| Date of Birth: | January 3, 1995 |
| From: | Liverpool, England |
| Height: | 5′ 10″ |
| Weight: | 155lbs |
Pimblett has become a global superstar in the UFC. He has gained notoriety online and in the cage for his antics and brash-talking personality, which has seen him develop a huge fanbase particularly in the UK but also in the US.
The former Cage Warriors champion, who supports Liverpool FC, and has become something of a content creator covering his beloved Reds, and has a long-term dream of fighting at Anfield in the future.
Paddy Pimblett’s MMA Debut and Early Career
Pimblett began training in MMA after being inspired to compete in the Octagon by a clash between Vitor Belfort and Rich Franklin at UFC 103. He joined the Next Generation MMA gym in his hometown of Liverpool and things began to open up for the Merseyside star, who had decided that he was to pursue this full-time.
Paddy then decided to pursue fighting professionally, winning his first three fights in impressive fashion, before he was invited to sign for UK-based MMA promotion Cage Warriors. A regular breeding ground for talent, Pimblett made a phenomenal rise up the ranks until he became a champion, before electing to move up to the lightweight division. From there on, his journey began to really take off as interest from the UFC and president Dana White resulted in his acquisition.
UFC Record and Fights
It was a busy start to life in the UFC for Pimblett, who made his first appearance in September 2021, taking on Luigi Vendramini. Defeating his opponent on the American stage, his name became a household one immediately, with his statement post-fight interview capturing the imagination after a big performance on the night.
Pimblett was then seen as a marketable star in the UK and his next two fights came as main card clashes at UFC London, as he brought a huge fanbase to his fight against Kazula Vargas in March 2022. Events on British soil had been rare previously, but the success he helped build saw the UFC immediately return as he choked out Jordan Leavitt in the co-feature fight three months later.
However, things took a concerning turn for ‘The Baddy’ in his next fight as he scraped past season veteran Jared Gordon, having been handed a controversial win despite the worrying stats. Taking just over a year off to nurse an injury aggravated during his unimpressive victory, the Liverpudlian would next face veteran Tony Ferguson in late 2023, with another win bringing him to 4-0 in the UFC. At UFC 304 in 2024, Pimblett defeated King Green via submission before facing Michael Chandler at UFC 314, defeating the 23-10 star with brutal elbows.
That victory earned the Liverpudlian the right to challenge for the interim UFC Lightweight Championship against Justin Gaethje at UFC 324 in January 2026.
Paddy Pimblett Total Fight Earnings and Full Purses
Much has been made of Pimblett’s earnings in the UFC, given his clear star power after seven fights. In his initial two contests, ‘The Baddy’ earned just $12,000 as a base salary for the fights, as accustomed to the UFC for all fighters even if they lose, but this was joined by $62,000 for performance and win bonuses for his first two wins over Vendramini and Vargas.
It was clear that a new contract would likely be needed for Pimblett given the big impact he was having on fight promotion extremely early on, and he signed a new deal with the UFC worth $150,000 in basic salary for each fight. This came into action for his second UFC London appearance against Jordan Leavitt, where he earned a much higher $350,000 purse which included a matched win bonus.
His earnings continued at a slightly lower rate in his win over Ferguson, earning just $158,500. Following this victory, and before his fight against King Green, Pimblett announced he had once again signed another UFC contract. With the figures regarding this contract unknown, it is reported that Pimblett’s bout against Green earned him $200k upfront, a figure that would be shadowed by his earnings against Chandler.
| Fighter | Opponent | Date | Event | Result | Base Salary | Win Bonus | Performance Bonus | Sponsorship | Total |

| Paddy Pimblett | Luigi Vendramini | 9/4/2021 | UFC Vegas 36 | W | $12,000 | $12,000 | $50,000 | $4,000 | $78,000 |

| Paddy Pimblett | Michael Chandler | 4/12/2025 | UFC 314 | W | $500,000 | $500,000 | $50,000 | $6,000 | $1,056,000 |
Paddy Pimblett Sponsorships and Endorsements
According to EssentiallySports, Pimblett currently has endorsement deals with Slick Gorilla, Apex Fightwear and Arise Media. Pimblett has made a superb impact commercially since the start of his UFC career, running advert campaigns across London, which have been used to promote his energy drink, which is a valuable source of income for ‘The Baddy’.
What used to be a huge main source of revenue for Pimblett outside his fighting earnings came in the form of a seven-figure deal with Barstool Sports, which was signed back in 2021. Barstool confirmed that Pimblett signed the deal to be “a brand ambassador and content creator” with the company. However, a cost-cutting procedure saw Pimblett’s contract get cancelled, with the Liverpudlian revealing the respect between the two parties is still there.
Pimblett also earns money from his own content creation methods, including on his YouTube channel where he posts unseen footage, vlogs and more from his fighting camps and while supporting his beloved Liverpool at Anfield. A man of Pimblett’s stature has also seen him pick up significant followers on social media, where he is likely to earn money from posts, including from his four million Instagram followers.
Paddy Pimblett’s Net Worth
According to numerous sources, Pimblett has a net worth of around $5 million as of January 2026. This is thanks in part to his successful career in the UFC, where he has earned north of $2m in prize money alone so far and will be looking to continue to build his profile and career, which could again quickly reward him with a new more bulky contract. He also earns a healthy salary from sponsorships and other income sources, which have helped him build an extremely stable income.
This net worth is likely to continue to grow as we go through 2025 and beyond, particularly as the Liverpudlian is eyeing up more fights with people ranked in the top ten of the UFC’s lightweights. He will likely receive further endorsements as his profile continues to grow, particularly in the UK, where his personality is carrying him to new-found levels of fame.

The UFC is home to some of the best fighters on the planet, but just how does its weight class system work?
Manchester United are eyeing a move for a £100m star as they consider launching a £120m double transfer raid on West Ham United to sign Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville, according to the Telegraph.
Man United have wrapped up their first signing of the summer already, with Ederson set to complete a move to Old Trafford next month after the Red Devils reached a full agreement to sign the Brazilian from Atalanta in a deal worth less than £40m.
United identified the central midfield position as their biggest transfer priority as they look to complete a major rebuild in that area following Casemiro’s departure, with Manuel Ugarte likely to join him through the exit door.
One more player will arrive in the position after Ederson, and it could even be two should Ugarte complete a move away, with full focus right now on signing Fernandes.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that United are in official talks with both the player and West Ham over a switch to Old Trafford, with the Portugal international keen on the move.
The Red Devils are also considering a move for the Netherlands international Summerville, which could see them launch a £120m bid for the Hammers duo.
Man United ‘Strongly Interested’ in Morgan Rogers
While United have interest in a potential double swoop on West Ham, they are also targeting a player from another English club in Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa.
The Red Devils had been linked with the England international earlier in the summer, but recent reports have suggested that Arsenal are the frontrunners for his signature and that the player is keen to join the Premier League champions.
However, a new report from the Telegraph says that United have ‘strong interest’ in signing Rogers as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Michael Carrick and director of football Jason Wilcox have both worked with the 23-year-old ‘superstar’ in the past at Middlesbrough and Manchester City respectively, so the interest in him isn’t a shock.
Rogers’ £100m price tag is a big issue though, with United earmarking the majority of their summer transfer budget to bolster their midfield.

Man United Winger Move Depends on Rashford
The report adds that any move for a winger, or a forward who can play out wide and centrally like Rogers, will depend on the future of Marcus Rashford.
The England international is available for £40m this summer due to a release clause, after Barcelona failed to activate their buy option on the forward.
The release clause is valid for everyone except Manchester City and Liverpool, with the Red Devils only willing to entertain permanent exits for the 28-year-old following his loan switch to Barcelona.
United need to offload the £325,000-a-week player if they are to be able to bring in a new forward, with Rashford keen on another move abroad following his successful spell at the Camp Nou.
Several Premier League clubs are thought to be monitoring his situation.
Crystal Palace are reportedly eyeing a move to sign a Celtic star in the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri.
The Eagles will be looking to enjoy an impressive summer transfer window as they look to back new manager Pierre Sage, who joined the club earlier this month.
Sage came in to replace Oliver Glasner, and he has some big shoes to fill, considering the Austrian manager won three trophies during his time at the club.
Glasner decided to leave Selhurst Park at the end of his contract just days after they lifted the Europa Conference League title.
The former Palace boss often complained about the lack of ambition from the club in terms of recruitment, so it will be interesting to see how much they back Sage this summer.
Crystal Palace Plotting Shock Transfer Return As First Pierre Sage Signing
Crystal Palace are closing in on Pierre Sage as their new head coach, and a few signings appear to be lined up.
Crystal Palace Eyeing Celtic Man
According to a report from Sky Sports journalist Tavolieri, Crystal Palace are in the race to sign Celtic midfielder Arne Engels in the summer transfer window.
Palace are hoping to convince Engels, described as ‘outstanding’ by former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, to join the club and beat Nottingham Forest to his signature.
Reports suggested last month that Engels is one to watch for the summer transfer window, with a departure from the club planned.
Although a Belgian international, Engels failed to make the World Cup squad for this summer.

Palace May Need Midfield Reinforcements
One of Crystal Palace’s priority positions in the summer transfer window could be to bring in a new midfielder for Sage.
Adam Wharton has been heavily linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, with reports claiming that Liverpool are plotting a move to secure his signature this summer.
Daichi Kamada is also out of contract, although Palace have confirmed they are in talks over a new deal. If both leave, they will be desperately in need of midfield reinforcements.
Palace also need to bring in players that are going to suit Sage’s style, so it could be a busy summer transfer window for the Eagles.
The third major of the 2026 golf season, the US Open, is on the horizon.
The tournament, which will be held at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, New York, begins on Thursday, June 18 and will conclude four days later on Sunday, June 22.
A tough week is in store for the best golfers in the world. The last time the tournament took place in Long Island was in 2018, and it was Brooks Koepka who battled his way to victory.
The American could only muster an overall score of one-over par, but that was enough for him to retain his title as he navigated the tricky conditions better than the rest of the field.
The tournament is expected to play very tough once again this year. On the eve of the tournament, GrokAI has been asked to predict the final top 25 in full, with the winner once again finishing over par.
25-11
Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm have both won the US Open before. The American won his maiden major title in 2020 at Winged Foot Golf Club, before winning the tournament again in 2024. The Spaniard, meanwhile, was triumphant in 2021.
Despite their success in the tournament and being among the very best golfers in the world right now, AI is not expecting either player to challenge at the top of the leaderboard.
Koepka, who like DeChambeau has won two US Open titles before, is predicted to finish just outside the top 20 on +11, alongside compatriots Daniel Berger and Maverick McNealy.
Three players are expected to finish on +10, including European Ryder Cup star Viktor Hovland, while Englishman Justin Rose is one of four players that AI thinks will end the tournament on +9.
Aaron Rai produced an incredible performance to win this year’s PGA Championship in May, becoming the first English winner of the tournament since Jim Barnes in 1919.
AI thinks that Rai, now 14th in the official world golf rankings, will finish just outside the top 10 at +8.

Scottie Scheffler is bidding to win the career Grand Slam this week. The world number 1 has triumphed at the Masters, the PGA Championship and the Open Championship, but the US Open continues to allude him. He has finished inside the top seven on four occasions, but is yet to reign supreme.
Scheffler, considered one of the best golfers ever, has been in good form during 2026, but he has only won once – all the way back in January when he won The American Express.
AI doesn’t think he will become just the seventh player in golf history to complete the Grand Slam this week, as he’s predicted to finish on +6 alongside Tyrrell Hatton and Xander Schauffele, and one shot clear of Ludvig Aberg and SI Woo Kim.
Cameron Young has finished in the top four of all four majors, but he is yet to win his first one. AI thinks it’ll be another near-miss for the American at Shinnecock Hills as he finishes +5, alongside former US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick.
European Ryder Cup stalwarts Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood are predicted to finish at +4, one shot off the eventual winner. The latter has form at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, having finished second in the 2018 US Open.
AI thinks that Russell Henley will break through and win his first major title this week. The 37-year-old has been in brilliant form this year and won the Charles Schwab Challenge just a few weeks ago. Explaining why it thinks Henley will be the surprise winner this year, GrokAI said:
“World #5 with elite precision irons, driving accuracy, and recent form. He led after Round 1 here in 2018 and is built for firm, windy setups like this. A deserving first major.”
