This is the UFC 329 live blog for Benoit Saint Denis vs. Paddy Pimblett, the lightweight co-main event bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Saint Denis is currently No. 7 at 155 pounds in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, while Pimblett sits at No. 12.
The surging Saint Denis (17-3, 1 NC) has looked like the most dangerous man in the lightweight division. He has finished all four opponents during his current four-fight win streak, including fellow top 10 contender Mauricio Ruffy, and veterans
Dan Hooker and Beneil Dariush. A two-fight skid in 2024 appeared to derail Saint Denis’ hype train, but he’s rebounded with style and could challenge for UFC gold soon.
Pimblett (23-4) recently had his own chance to win a UFC title, but fell short against Justin Gaethje in their interim lightweight championship match. The loss snapped Pimblett’s nine-fight win streak and ruined his perfect UFC record after he started 7-0 with the promotion. “The Baddy” can vault right back to the front of the line with an impressive performance against the red-hot Saint Denis.
