Paddy Pimblett says he plans to keep the bout standing for an early finish.

Overview

Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett are booked for an interim lightweight title on Jan. 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, airing on Paramount+.
Pimblett told TNT Sports he intends to strike with Gaethje and believes he can secure a stoppage inside three rounds.
Ahead of UFC 324, coverage revisited Pimblett’s 95-second knockout of Johnny Frachey at Cage Warriors 78 that won him his first world title.

A report says Kayla Harrison is out of her Jan. 24 matchup with Amanda Nunes due to a neck injury, and Norma Dumont publicly offered to step in to face Nunes.
