Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis will collide this weekend.

Pimblett's undefeated UFC run came to a dramatic end in his interim title fight versus Justin Gaethje, a bloody loss that has aged quite well. At 31, "The Baddy" is at the peak of his career and could return to immediate title contention with a victory.

Saint Denis has responded well from his disastrous 2024. "The God of War" has won four straight fights all via finish, including a significant upset over red-hot knockout artist Mauricio Ruffy. Only 30 himself, "BSD" is ready for a second run at lightweight title contention.

Saint Denis Promises Fireworks

"It's a privilege to be here in such a huge card, and of course, it's a huge fight," Saint Denis said at UFC 329 media day. "I'm fully concentrated on what I have to do and delivering you a Fight of the Night performance."

Saint Denis is not surprised by the matchup.

"I do believe I put myself in a small group conversation, and it was part of it," Saint Denis said. "It's a huge fight, and I'm not underestimating him."

Betting Odds

Saint Denis enters as the favorite at -146, while Pimblett is a +114 underdog.
