Dricus du Plessis dropped a few of the absolute enormous UFC information. Apparently, Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje are scheduled to combat earlier than the summer season ends.
UFC middleweight champion Duplesis is about to defend his title towards undefeated contender Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319 in Chicago on August sixteenth. He claims that prime light-weight candidates Pinblett and Gache will meet within the card’s co-main occasion.
“The co-main occasions are Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje,” he stated in a video of the rounds on social media. “It is an awesome battle. An excellent battle.”
Given the position of Duplesis on the playing cards, it is truthful to imagine he is aware of the UFC’s joint foremost plan.
If that is true, it represents an enormous curveball.
Final Saturday, at UFC 317, Ilia Topuria received the vacant light-weight title with a knockout from Charles Oliveira. After the battle, Pinblet joined the octagonal Topria and joined for a showdown.
Once more, UFC CEO Dana White has expressed remorse over the showdown between Topuria vs. Pimblett.
“It isn’t a combat,” White stated after Topria and Pinblett squared. “That should not occur.”
“I do not give sh*t whether or not it is enjoyable to observe or not,” the UFC boss added. “That should not occur. Plus, he received the second title within the larger division. It was a nasty name for anybody who put them there.”
Maybe White was annoyed as Pinblet was already lined as much as combat Gaeche. After all, it would conflict with Gaeche’s latest declare that he won’t combat once more until it is for the title.
Both method, UFC 319 shall be coming quickly, so it’s good to understand it immediately.
