UFC lightweights Paddy Pimblett and Jordan Leavitt are set to meet at the UFC's return to London, England on July 23.
The promotion officially announced the matchup has been signed via a tweet. Pimblett has become one of the sport's brashest young stars since making his UFC debut last September. He's 2-0 in his two Octagon outings and will look to build on a first-round submission win over Kazula Vargas back at UFC Fight Night 204 in the promotion's last trip to London in March. Leavitt meanwhile is 3-1 in his last three fights and is coming off of a split-decision victory over Trey Ogden at UFC Vegas 51.
