Paddy Pimblett predicts KO victory against Justin Gaethje at UFC 324

MMA fans eagerly anticipating UFC 324 can expect an exciting fight between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje. Pimblett, ranked fifth in the Lightweight division, plans to go for a knockout against Gaethje in the Paramount+ streamed main event on January 24, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

While Pimblett is known for his grappling skills, he is confident in his ability to knock out Gaethje. Even though he has only two knockout wins in the Octagon, including a recent victory over Michael Chandler, Pimblett is determined to surprise everyone with another knockout against Gaethje.

Acknowledging Gaethje’s strong striking abilities, Pimblett is prepared for a tough fight. Gaethje, who famously knocked down Max Holloway, is a formidable opponent. However, Pimblett is unfazed and determined to come out on top.

Responding to critics who questioned his interim title shot over Arman Tsarukyan, Pimblett confidently stated that he has earned his place in the fight against Gaethje. He sees this as an opportunity to win the interim belt, defeat Ilia Topuria, and eventually aim for the Welterweight belt.

As Pimblett remains undefeated in the Octagon with a record of 7-0, fans are eagerly anticipating his showdown with Gaethje at UFC 324. Stay tuned for what promises to be an action-packed fight between these two talented fighters.
