Ahead of Paddy Pimblett's return at Cage Warriors 90, check out 'The Baddy' documentary

You might yearn for a subtitle or two along the way, but this 11-minute documentary on former Cage Warriors featherweight champion Paddy Pimblett is worth a look.

Detailing Pimblett’s rise from Liverpool schoolboy to Cage Warriors champ – and dealing with his doubters, detractors and haters along the way – “The Baddy” was directed and produced by Liam Powell and originally released in 2017.

Just 23, Pimblett (13-2) is considered one of the European scene’s top prospects. “The Baddy” ceded his title to Nad Narimani in April 2017 but has since moved up to the lightweight division and returns to action at Saturday’s Cage Warriors 90 event at Echo Arena in Liverpool, where he takes on Alexis Savvidis.

The main card streams live on UFC Fight Pass at 4 p.m. ET.

It’s an important return fight for Pimblett if he hopes to again kickstart the hype train that was derailed in his 2017 loss. But if the documentary is any indication, “The Baddy” isn’t listening to his detractors one bit.
