Paddy Pimblett put influencer Dean Alex through a rough sparring session, ultimately dominating the exchange despite taking some clean shots along the way.
The UFC lightweight engaged Alex in a recorded spar, where the influencer managed to land at times but was largely overwhelmed as Pimblett took control. After the session ended, Pimblett slapped Alex on the back, and Alex later vomited over a balcony following the hard rounds.
The spar comes shortly after Pimblett’s unsuccessful challenge for the UFC interim lightweight title against Justin Gaethje in the UFC 324 main event. Gaethje is now heading to UFC White House to face Ilia Topuria for the undisputed lightweight championship.
Pimblett is expected to return to official competition against Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 329 in Las Vegas during the promotion’s annual International Fight Week.
