. It would be a shame, obviously but I don’t think anywhere is big enough unless they come to Anfield – that’s the dream.”
Pimblett’s Ambitions and Upcoming Fight
In preparation for his upcoming fight against Justin Gaethje at UFC 324, Pimblett remains confident. The Liverpudlian, who fights on Saturday for the interim lightweight title, believes he can make a significant impact in the ring. He highlighted that “a lot of people are like, ‘oh, he’s old’, but I just think I’m better than him.”
Pimblett further elaborated on his strategy and preparation: “I know I’ve got better grappling.
I know I’ve got better jiu-jitsu. I think I’ve got better wrestling, even though everyone says I can’t wrestle. ‘I think my striking is just as good as his. He’s a boxer with leg kicks; I’m an MMA striker and I’ll show the difference.”
Looking Ahead: Pimblett’s Future in the UFC
Around Sky, Pimblett expressed his desire to become a double champion by winning both the lightweight and welterweight belts. He believes that if he gets the chance to move up from lightweight, he will do so strategically. “Obviously, everyone wants to end up becoming double champ,” he said. “If I ever get the chance, I will, but I don’t just want to win the lightweight belt and move straight up.”
With the upcoming fight against Gaethje serving as a stepping stone towards his ultimate goal, Pimblett is focused on proving himself in Las Vegas. “I’m ready ‘show the difference’ between me and Justin Gaethje at UFC 324,” he declared. “People think that I can’t stand with him and people think he’s going to knock me out, but I’ll show everyone come Saturday night.”
The fight is set for Saturday, January 21, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. As Pimblett prepares to face Gaethje, fans are eagerly awaiting his performance and the potential for him to take the next step in his MMA career.
