Paddy Pimblett Backs Himself to Stop Justin Gaethje and Claim the Belt

“He’s just another person in front of me,” Pimblett said ahead of UFC 324’s interim lightweight title main event vs. Gaethje. “He’s a legend…but I feel bad…if he loses, he’s going to retire. So, he’s going to retire.” Pimblett called Gaethje “your favorite fighter’s favorite fighter,” then added, “I always said…I was going to be a UFC world champion.”
