    Pimblett wins by submission

    Wow.

    Pimblett has faced some criticism for his recent performances but he has delivered tonight.

    The arena erupts with chants of "Oh Paddy the baddy, oh Paddy the baddy!"

    If anyone was dozing off, they are wide awake now.

    Bobby always has his hands low, but he's so quick that he gets away with it. Paddy throws looping shots with plenty of power.

    Green v Pimblett

    Green is a talker and he's wasting no time in trying to get into the head of Pimblett.

    The Liverpudlian isn't chatting back but the crowd are chanting his name - "oh Paddy the baddy".

    Green has his hands down by his hips and is caught by a right hook. He wags his finger but it definitely landed.

    The loudest boos of the evening so far as Bobby Green made his walkout.

    Green says he has changed his first name to 'King' recently, and that's being mirrored on the UFC broadcast.

    In typical witty Pimblett fashion, the 29-year-old responded by saying he would become the "King slayer"

    This is the moment for Paddy Pimblett. Is he going to live up to the hype? Is he going to get up to the top 15? Can he compete with Bobby Green?

    Green v Pimblett

    Bobby Green might be 37 and preparing for his 50th professional fight but he looks pretty youthful and limber as he does a forward roll into the octagon.

    He jumps towards Paddy Pimblett before taking a step back to his side of the cage.

    Over to Bruce Buffer...

  9. 'Green is a fun guy'published at 04:40 British Summer Time 28 July

    Green is a fun guy. Every guy he's in the octagon with, he shows tremendous skill, but he's been here multiple times. He's been here so many times before and has said tonight is the least difficult tonight.

    Here is Bobby Green with 'Eurphoria' by Kendrick Lamar seeing him on his way.

    It's hard to hear it clearly though with so many boos!

    No surprise, it's a hostile greeting for the American.

  11. 'Not fair on the fans' - Pimblettpublished at 04:37 British Summer Time 28 July

    BBC Sport at the Co-op Live, Manchester

    Many of the fighters have adjusted their sleep patterns this week to adjust to the early-morning bouts, but one who hasn't is Paddy Pimblett.

    Pimblett believes it will be irrelevant when the adrenaline kicks in before the bout, and any lingering tiredness will wash away.

    He said it would be the fans who will be affected the most.

    "It’s not fair. Fans stay up every week watching the UFC, we have to sit up until four, five, six in the morning every week," Pimblett told BBC Sport.

    "So the fact they’re doing a show in our country, but we’ve still got to sit up until those times is ridiculous.”

  12. 'Paddy needs the takedown'published at 04:37 British Summer Time 28 July

    The smart money says Paddy needs to get the takedown to win this fight.

    The crowd are on their feet, phones in the air, chanting 'Oh Paddy the Baddy' as Paddy Pimblett dances towards the octagon.

    This is the second wind they needed.

  16. 'Why would I invite pressure on myself like that?'published at 04:33 British Summer Time 28 July

    Green v Pimblett

    It's important to talk about mental health - Pimblett

    Warning: This post contains a reference to suicide.

    Paddy Pimblett says some of the responses he has received on social media for urging men to open up about their mental health has been "disgusting".

    The 29-year-old revealed he was dealing with personal issues while having the "worst training camp of his life" six weeks ago, before seeking help.

    "Seeing Sky Sports put that interview up,, external and seeing some of the responses are disgusting," he said. "People saying I'm doing it for a PR stunt. Why would I invite pressure on myself like that?

    "People saying I'm only doing it for that reason when I know several people who have killed themselves. I've thought about it in the past. Again, I do it because I feel like I need to and I don't want more people to kill themselves, especially men.

    "Other people have been quoting saying 'no wonder men don't talk [about mental health] when the responses are like this'.

    While we have been playing the celebrity spotting game, Wrexham striker Paul Mullin has just been shown on the big screen.

    He's not on the team's trip to the US while he recovers from surgery.

    I don't know many League One players who would have been highlighted to be fair - you have to think he may not have been shown if he was still playing for Cambridge United.

  20. Liverpool backing for Pimblettpublished at 04:27 British Summer Time 28 July

    BBC Sport at the Co-op Live, Manchester

    I bumped into a few Liverpool fans earlier who had travelled over from the city to watch Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett, in particular.

    They predicted an easy win for McCann against Brasil, and a hard-fought win for Pimblett over Bobby Green.

    I won't repeat what they said, but they also weren't too impressed at being a stone's throw away from Manchester City's Etihad Stadium...
