Building Champions and Community: Inside the Transformative Gym.

MMA fighter Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett proudly displays the scars from three foot surgeries and another three on his hands, a testament to the physical toll of his rigorous training and fighting career. 

Each scar tells a story of resilience and determination as Pimblett continues to pursue greatness in the world of mixed martial arts.

"At 29, my body's breaking down, but I've been fighting since I was 15," admits Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett, shrugging off the toll of multiple surgeries. "I just get on with it."

The Next Generation Gym is where Pimblett and fellow fighter Molly 'Meatball' McCann, 34, thrive. They stand as the prominent figures in Liverpool's tight-knit MMA community, honing their skills under head coaches Paul Rimmer and Ellis Hampson. 

Together for two decades, they've cultivated not just fighters, but a legacy for Liverpool, preparing Pimblett and McCann for upcoming bouts in Manchester, critical junctures after a tumultuous 18 months of highs, lows, and life-altering moments.
