Renato Moicano Says Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324 Creates a ‘Paper Champ’

Moicano blasted the interim lightweight title booking of Gaethje vs. Pimblett on January 24, saying it’s “not fair” and asking, “Who did Paddy beat in the division?” He argued the interim belt “makes no sense” because Ilia Topuria is the real champion and said No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan should be fighting instead, claiming Gaethje’s retirement threat influenced the matchup.
