Fight Preview
A night with destiny awaits for Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324, as the British star bids to continue his ascent to the top of the sport. Pimblett has quickly become one of the trail-blazing stars in the UFC, making immediate impressions with the company after scoring first-round stoppages in his first two fights.
The British fighter has continued to improve with greater opposition, notably beating Tony Ferguson by decision in December 2023, before landing a career-defining TKO success against Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
However, Justin Gaethje will present a new challenge. The knockout specialist has won 20 of his 26 bouts inside the distance, while he is one of the most respected fighters in the weight class after landing the Interim UFC Lightweight Championship back in May 2020.
He has come up short in big fights in recent years, including a fifth-round loss against Max Holloway in April 2024. But, the fact that only five of his 31 bouts have gone the distance means that it should be a red-hot contest.
Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett Picks
This could be the night that Pimblett ascends to the higher rankings in the UFC. We fully expect him to come through this challenge, and a statement could be made with a dominant TKO finish.
