Demetrious Johnson Stunned Paddy Pimblett Didn’t Wrestle Justin Gaethje

The former UFC champion questioned Pimblett’s approach after the UFC 324 loss, saying he was “shocked” no takedowns came early. He argued Pimblett held a grappling edge but couldn’t force it, adding he tried to “fight a bull.” Johnson said Pimblett shot only when hurt, not fresh, praising toughness but criticizing strategy against Gaethje’s power and balance over five hard rounds.
