While Paddy The end result was a unanimous decision defeat, as Gaethje battered Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cTo be honest, with the last fight, I think it was a little bit of Pimblett has recovered from the battle against Gaethje and appears \u201cI had a perfect camp for the last fight, and that never went \u201cSo, hopefully this is the same. I\u2019ve got to show everyone why I
\nPimblett<\/a> displayed heart by going toe-to-toe against Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> in the UFC 324<\/a>
\nheadliner, it wasn\u2019t exactly the best tactical approach.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe Baddy\u201d on the feet for the better part of five rounds to claim
\nthe interim lightweight crown. Pimblett might have been better
\nserved trying to make Gaethje grapple, but he wanted to prove a
\npoint against one of the sport\u2019s top all-action competitors. As a
\nresult, it\u2019s Gaethje who gets a chance to unify the lightweight
\ntitle when he faces Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a> in the
\nUFC White House<\/a> main event on June 14.<\/p>\n
\nme ego got in the way,\u201d Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. \u201cI
\nwanted to knock him out. I wanted to strike with him and show
\neveryone I can strike. I wanted a war. When you\u2019re trying to take
\nhim down in the fifth round after he bludgeoned you at the end of
\nthe second, it\u2019s quite hard. Back to fight IQ. Back to the game
\nplan and not just swinging recklessly.\u201d<\/p>\nComfort in the Chaos<\/h2>\n
\nto be on the verge of making his Octagon return. Though nothing has
\nbeen officially confirmed, the Englishman has hinted that he will
\nface Benoit St.
\nDenis<\/a> in his next outing. Looking back, Pimblett believes
\nthings might have gone a little too smoothly during his camp for
\nGaethje \u2014 something he hopes to change this time around.<\/p>\n
\nperfect in the cage, did it?\u201d Pimblett said. \u201cSo, I think getting
\nback to having a little bit of a mad, disruptive fight camp, when I
\nhad me best fights. Bobby Green<\/a>
\nand Michael
\nChandler<\/a>, both fight camps weren\u2019t perfect, but everything
\nended up perfect when I got in the Octagon.<\/p>\n
\ndeserved to get that title shot. Show everyone that I\u2019m going to be
\ngetting another one in the near future.<\/p>\n
