UFC lightweight and die-hard Liverpool fan Paddy Pimblett has expressed his frustration at Trent Alexander-Arnold's exit from the club, telling ESPN he believes the defender should not be at their Premier League trophy parade because of the way his departure unfolded.

UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett has said his next opponent will "more than likely" be Justin Gaethje but he is also open to facing Ilia Topuria later this year. Pimblett (23-3) is coming off a career best win over Michael Chandler in April. The 30-year-old produced an excellent TKO victory in Round 3 at UFC 314 which saw him earn a performance of the night bonus and climb to No. 6 in ESPN's lightweight rankings.
