Justin Gaethje Says Paddy Pimblett’s 'Face' Trash Talk Lit A Fire in Him

Gaethje says Pimblett crossed a line in a backstage chat, mocking (former interim champion) Dustin Poirier and predicting Gaethje’s face would change after their interim lightweight title fight at UFC 324. “F**king bet,” Gaethje said. “There’s no way that’s gonna happen,” he added, calling it “fuel to the fire.” However, Gaethje dominantly defeated Pimblett, earning his spot for the title.
