Several days ago, the National Diversity Awards took place at the Liverpool Cathedral for the 13th edition of the ceremony.
Founded back in 2012, it's purpose is to shine a light on and praise those who have helped to make a positive impact on society in lots of different ways.
Amongst a sea of various categories and thousands of nominees, one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts was included in the final shortlist for Celebrity Of The Year.
Liverpool's own Paddy Pimblett ended up winning the award due to his work that he has done to remove the stigma regarding men's mental health.
"The Baddy" has become a huge name in combat sports in a very short amount of time and he's used this platform to speak about issues that are close to him.
Pimblett has also recently founded The Baddy Foundation, a charity that is focused on men's mental health and providing food for young people.
The website for the foundation, which can be reached here, features the following mission statement from the Scouse star:
"I really want to work on helping disadvantaged kids living off food banks to eat and to help clothe them, have a better quality of life and to help men of my generation understand that it isn't weak to talk and every single one of us has mental battles we have to fight even someone like myself"
The website also features his post-fight interview from his third fight inside the Octagon where he defeated Jordan Leavitt in London.
Pimblett took this opportunity to speak about a friend of his who had recently taken his own life, using his moment in the spotlight to promote change.
"There's a stigma in this world that men can't talk. Listen, if you're a man and you've got weight on your shoulders and you think the only way you can solve it is by killing yourself, please speak to someone. Speak to anyone. People would rather, I know I'd rather me mate cry on my shoulder than go to his funeral next week. So please, let's get rid of this stigma and men, start talking."
