Grading The Stars: Paddy Pimblett, UFC – There’s just something about the stars. They’re mesmerizing. Whether it’s the stars in sports, entertainment or in the sky, they captivate us with their dazzling ways and continue to shine ever so brightly for all of us to see.

In the Grading The Stars series, we’ll feature the stars of the past, present and future and grade them based on their prestige, performance and promise. Plus, we’ll highlight three cool cards of a star to collect under a certain dollar figure.

There are five grading levels of the stars: 10 = Icon (Blue Diamond), 9.5 = Legend (Platinum), 9 = Superstar (Gold), 8.5 = Star (Silver) and 8 = Rising Star (Bronze).

Today, we’ll feature a man who is one of UFC’s rising stars and one of the most popular fighters in the world, the English enigma Paddy Pimblett.

Baddy But Goody: After an eight-year run with the UK’s Cage Warriors where he won the Featherweight Championship, Paddy Pimblett made the move to UFC. Less than a year later, Paddy The Baddy is already one of UFC’s most popular fighters.

Next Big Thing?: So far so good for The Baddy in UFC, as he’s won his first three fights. Holding a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Pimblett’s style is exciting, but could hurt him when he competes against elite competition. Is The Baddy the next big thing?

Future Outlook: The 27-year old Pimblett is polarizing and connects with the UFC demographic. His association with Barstool Sports is a bonus. As long as he wins, his brashness will intrigue collectors and keep his cards in-demand. He’s a fun one to collect.

Grade: 8 = Rising Star (Bronze)
