Paddy Pimblett has dropped a major update on his fighting career ahead of UFC 304.

Pimblett returns to the famed Octagon when he meets Bobby Green, who has officially changed his name ahead of their lightweight clash in Manchester, England.

'The Baddy' heads into his UFC 304 assignment having won five UFC fights in a row, beating the likes of Jared Gordon and MMA legend Tony Ferguson.

Ahead of his July 27 match-up, Pimblett has revealed that his showdown against Green is the final bout of his current UFC contract.

While he doesn't see himself fighting away from the UFC, the 29-year-old refused to rule out a money-spinning fight against a 'stupid YouTuber'.

"It goes without saying: I wouldn’t want to go to a different organisation," the Liverpool fighter said.

"UFC is the cream of the crop. It’s the main place. When you say to people, 'I do MMA'. Most of them go, 'What’s that?' You say, 'UFC'.

"People don’t even know what MMA is. They know what UFC is. You never know, though. Some of these stupid YouTubers who are boxing could end up offering me millions to end up fighting one of them. So, we’ll see what happens."

Despite hinting at a potential UFC departure, Pimblett has set his sights on Renato Moicano should he secure a win at UFC 304 and even suggested coaching against the Brazilian on The Ultimate Fighter.

"Obviously, if I fight again this year, then I’m going to want to fight someone else and get in the rankings, and I’m going to want to fight someone higher up in the rankings," he added. "Me and Moicano have had a little back-and-forth. I’d love to fight Moicano.

"I think it would be absolutely hilarious to do a season of The Ultimate Fighter with him. I think that would be one of the best seasons they’ve ever done.

"We’ll see what happens. This is the last fight on my contract, so we’ll be getting back to the renegotiation table after this. So, we’ll see what happens."
