Paddy Pimblett Favourite to Beat Justin Gaethje for Interim Lightweight Title
UFC returns to Las Vegas this weekend for a blockbuster event as Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett steps into the octagon for the biggest fight of his career.
The British fan-favourite takes on Justin Gaethje for the Interim UFC Lightweight Championship, in a bout that could reshape the division.
With reigning champion Ilia Topuria sidelined until later in 2026 due to personal reasons, this interim clash becomes a vital stepping stone to the undisputed title.

Paddy Pimblett vs Justin Gaethje – Interim Lightweight Title Preview
This fight marks a major moment for Paddy Pimblett, who has surged up the UFC ranks since making his debut in 2021.
Now with a 23–3 professional record, Pimblett's charisma and grappling skills have made him a firm favourite with fans and with betting sites, who now make him 2/5 favourite to win on Saturday.
Justin Gaethje, the former interim champ and one of the UFC’s most explosive strikers, enters as the 2/1 underdog.
Despite his reputation for knockouts and wild wars inside the cage, recent losses have seen his odds lengthen as the Liverpudlian gains momentum.
This one is unlikely to go the distance as both fighters prefer high-tempo pressure and finishing ability, making the ‘Fight to End Inside Distance’ market well worth a look for punters.
