Paddy
\nPimblett<\/a> is confident that Benoit St.
\nDenis<\/a> can\u2019t fight him as Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> did.<\/p>\n

Pimblett (23-4) fought Gaethje (28-5) for the interim
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> lightweight title this past
\nJanuary. While the Brit showed immense heart, he suffered a
\nbeatdown en route to a unanimous decision loss to \u201cThe Highlight.\u201d
\nPimblett doesn\u2019t believe St. Denis (17-3) can present the same
\nlevel of danger as the new 155-pound king.<\/p>\n

Paddy Pimblett claims Benoit St. Denis hasn’t got Justin
\nGaethje\u2019s chin and cardio<\/h2>\n

Pimblett will face St. Denis in the co-main event at
\nUFC 329<\/a>, which goes down Saturday, July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in
\nLas Vegas. \u201cThe Baddy\u201d claims St. Denis doesn\u2019t have a path to
\nvictory against him, saying he\u2019ll choke out the Frenchman if the
\nfight goes to the ground and knock him out if they trade on the
\nfeet.<\/p>\n

The former
\nCage Warriors<\/a> champion considers Gaethje a completely different
\nlevel of fighter when compared to St. Denis. He said in a recent
\ninterview, \u201cI can\u2019t see how he beats me. He\u2019s gonna try to take me
\ndown and get choked, or he\u2019s gonna stand with me and get knocked
\nout. Justin Gaethje\u2019s a completely different animal from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[St. Denis] won\u2019t be able to do [what Gaethje did],\u201d Pimblett
\nadded. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t got the cardio to do that, and he hasn\u2019t got the
\nchin. So if he wants to have a scrap like that, I\u2019ll knock his a**
\nout.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Pimblett is eager to return to winning ways, St. Denis is
\nriding a four-fight win streak, with all four wins coming via
\nfinishes.<\/p>\n
