Here is everything you need to know about UFC superstar and Britain’s lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett. This includes the net worth, career earnings and endorsement deals of ‘Paddy The Baddy’.
Paddy Pimblett Net Worth
Paddy Pimblett has been a professional MMA fighter since his debut back in October 2012. He has been fighting consistently for 11 years straight now in the pro ranks, earning more and more money as his career has progressed up to the UFC now.
Pimblett signed for the UFC back in 2021, hence why his net worth has massively increased in the past two years. Before he signed for the UFC, Pimblett’s net worth was estimated at around $1 million.
However, as of today it is reported that Paddy Pimblett’s net worth is now somewhere in the region of $5 million (£3.9m) (source: Give Me Sport).
Of course, given the fact Paddy Pimblett is a supremely rich man, he likes his fair share of luxury items too. ‘The Baddy’ has acquired various assets that have contributed to his riches. He has a lovely house, nice cars and expensive jewellery notably.
Paddy Pimblett’s net worth is also inflated due to world famous rapper Drake gifting him a six-figure worth Rolex watch. Drake handed ‘Paddy The Baddy’ the watch after he and good friend Molly McCann earned the rapper $3.7 million in a winning bet.
The 1995-born MMA phenom also earns additional cash from his YouTube channel @PaddyTheBaddyUFC. He has over 925,000 subscribers, and is set to hit the 1 million mark in 2024! Pimblett certainly earns plenty of additional cash from his YouTube channel.
Paddy Pimblett Career Earnings
After 24 professional MMA fights, including four in the UFC, Paddy Pimblett’s biggest fight purse is reported to have been $354,000 (source: MMA Salaries). This was reportedly how much Pimblett earned for his 155-pound bout with Jordan Leavitt in London in July 2022.
‘Paddy The Baddy’ won that fight via impressive submission, backing up his tag as the overriding favorite with the best UFC betting apps. The second largest fight purse of Pimblett’s career came two fights ago against Jared Gordon. The scouser reportedly pocketed $304,500 for his closely fought lightweight encounter.
Given that Pimblett has only fought five times in the UFC, his previous purses prior to signing to Dana White and his organisation are unknown. He is the former Cage Warriors featherweight champion though, so may well have earned five or six-figure purses on a few occasions.
Pimblett’s first two purses in the UFC earned him $78,000 each, before the Liverpudlian then signed a new seven-figure deal with the UFC. As you can see in the table below, Pimblett’s earnings have catapulted in his past three fights, showing just how big his new UFC contract actually is.
It is fair to say that Paddy Pimblett isn’t short of a dollar or two. His net worth, salary and fight purses will continue to rise as his career rolls on in the UFC. Of course, the more fights Pimblett wins, the more big money fights and opportunities for even more big pay-days he will get.

Paddy Pimblett Endorsements & Sponsorship
