Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett
PADDY PIMBLETT is set to face the biggest fight of his career at UFC 324 when he takes on Justin Gaethje TOMORROW NIGHT.
The Baddy humiliated Michael Chandler during his last outing in April 2025 – picking up a third-round win.
And despite his incredible ground game and submission skills, insists he will be staying on his feet against his American opponent.
However, that plan could change as Gaethje is known for putting on superb displays, hence why he has earned approximately £707, 000 in Fight of the Night or Performance of the Night bonuses.
Plus similar to Pimblett, the world No4 goes into this contest off the back of a win after beating Rafael Fiziev last March.
This has the makings to be a sensational fight, and there are several blockbuster bouts on the undercard.

What has been said?
Paddy The Baddy Pimblett believes it will be hard for Gaethje to prepare as he believes he doesn’t wrestle like a ‘normal person’.
Pimblett said: “I don’t wrestle like a normal person.
‘I don’t shoot double legs and single legs and wrestle like a normal person does. I do everything differently. I’m not normal, so he’s not going to be able to get a sparring partner that grapples like me or strikes like me because I’m a weirdo.
‘I’m honest about it, I’m very awkward. You can’t really get a sparring partner in to do me because I’m so awkward, so I’m looking forward to fighting him as I say.”
