Paddy Pimblett Vows Major Change for Potential Justin Gaethje Rematch

Paddy Pimblett Vows Major Change for Potential Justin Gaethje Rematch
Other Sports · 11:14:41 - Saturday, 31 October 2026

UFC lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett has declared he would make one significant adjustment if a rematch with Justin Gaethje materializes. The British fighter, known for his grappling-heavy approach, suggested a strategic shift in preparation for a potential second meeting with the former interim champion.

Pimblett and Gaethje have not previously fought in the Octagon, making the prospect of a "rematch" hypothetical. The Liverpool native's comments indicate he is already visualizing a high-stakes clash with the American knockout artist, who holds wins over Dustin Poirier and Rafael Fiziev.

Neither fighter has a bout currently scheduled. Pimblett last competed at UFC 304 in Manchester, while Gaethje's most recent appearance was a BMF title defense against Max Holloway at UFC 300.
