Paddy Pimblett prepares for UFC 329 co-main event against Benoit Saint-Denis

Paddy Pimblett is set to face Benoit Saint-Denis in the co-main event of UFC 329 on July 11. Following a loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 324, Pimblett relished the recent defeat of rival Ilia Topuria by Gaethje, which he views as vindication for his own prior defeat. Pimblett criticized Topuria for his performance during the fight at UFC Freedom 250, where he expressed that he would have continued fighting despite the circumstances. In his upcoming bout, Pimblett hopes to secure a rematch with Gaethje by finishing Saint-Denis, who is noted for his striking ability and military background.
