Pimblett made quick work of King Green, defeating him just over three minutes into the first round. Pimblett’s triangle choke led to a referee stoppage, giving him the most significant victory of his career.

This win will vault Pimblett (22-3) into the rankings. Green (32-16-1) will remain a gatekeeper for the lightweight division, but the future belongs to Pimblett.
