Paddy Pimblett has informed the UFC division of Feedweight in a post on social media.
11-0 Luke Riley has been associated with a switch to MMA's most important promotion during 2025.
In March, Molly McCann claimed that the most popular free agent in MMA was 'a few weeks' to become a member of the UFC.
It took longer than expected, but the 26-year-old prospect eventually joined the UFC selection on Wednesday.

Paddy Pimblett responds to Luke Riley who becomes a member of the UFC
Fans begged Dana White to sign Luke Riley after he won Knockout earlier this year.
“It is officially, signed for the @UFC,” tweeted the undefeated featherweight Wednesday.
While the news about his UFC deal spread, Paddy Pimblett sent a threatening message to the 145LB division.
“My husband @lukerileymma finally put pen on paper with the @UFC,” he wrote on Instagram.
“It was on the agenda for a long time, but it was inevitable.
“Everything your FWs are not ready for my boy's watch.”
Paddy Pimblett's next fight
Paddy Pimblett Brute Michael Chandler to win his greatest fight so far on UFC 314 in April.
In June, 'The Baddy' Ilia Topuria in the cage confronted after his lightweight title win on UFC 317.
Their old feud makes Pimblett a candidate for the next 155 pound of title shot, but it is currently unclear whether he can jump as Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje.
Fans believe that Pimblett's next fight is being determined after an update of the shock ranking saw him catch up rivals.
The 30-year-old Englishman jumped bizarre from #9 to #7 without throwing a single punch.
Only the time will learn or the unexpected rankings of Pimblett means that he is the next in line for a shot in Topuria.
