Paddy Pimblett is planning a faster-than-expected return to the octagon after his UFC 324 loss to Justin Gaethje. Frustrated by Benoît Saint-Denis jumping him in the rankings, Pimblett told fans, “I’ll fight anyone… Saint-Denis, the loser of Holloway vs. Oliveira—just let me know when and where. I’m ready.”
According to Bovada, Pimblett could be back as early as summer 2026 (Before or After July 1, -115). Early odds for his next opponent include: Saint-Denis (+140), Dan Hooker (+375), Arman Tsarukyan (+475), and more. With his readiness to take on any opponent, Pimblett’s return is already generating major buzz in the lightweight division.
