Paddy Pimblett Wants Rematch With Justin Gaethje

Paddy Pimblett has expressed a strong preference for a title rematch against Justin Gaethje over a bout with Ilia Topuria. Despite a previous loss to Gaethje earlier this year during an interim title fight, Pimblett remains focused on securing the undisputed lightweight championship following his recent first-round submission victory over Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 329 in July.

While Pimblett holds a personal rivalry with Topuria, he prioritizes the belt currently held by Gaethje. The UFC has yet to confirm future lightweight matchups, and there is ongoing speculation regarding whether Gaethje will choose to retire due to physical wear and injury concerns.

If Gaethje decides to continue his career, potential challengers like Arman Tsarukyan and Alexander Volkanovski are also considered viable options for the promotion.
