Following the announcement of UFC 324, Paddy Pimblett is in great spirits. Pimblett will face Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight strap in Ilia Topuria’s absence, when the promotion debuts on Paramount+ on January 24.
But the Brit is thinking far beyond UFC 324 and has more ambitious intentions. He recently discussed his aspirations in an interview and laid out his big plans once he grabs the interim title by getting past ‘The Highlight.’
Dana White has made it clear that the winner of the Gaethje vs. Pimblett bout will fight Topuria in a unification bout, once ‘El Matador’ returns.
