Overview
- Multiple outlets report Pimblett is being lined up to challenge Topuria in January in Los Angeles, topping a pay-per-view available on Paramount+.
- Coverage conflicts on the event identifier, with one report citing UFC 24 and another UFC 324, reflecting the absence of an official announcement.
- Reports also say Justin Gaethje was initially considered before executives favored Pimblett for his drawing power.
- Fan reaction is split, with some calling the potential title shot undeserved and others backing the rivalry as the most compelling option.
- Pimblett stopped Michael Chandler by TKO at UFC 314 and is unbeaten in the UFC, though Dustin Poirier contends he still needs one more major win before a title shot.
