Pimblett beats Saint-Denis by submission
Not a mark on the face of Paddy Pimblett this time.
Compare that to January and he was pretty banged up against Justin Gaethje.
I bet he wishes he'd have tried to take Gaethje to the canvas now.

Joe Rogan
UFC commentator on TNT SportsThe way he did that submission with the legs over the back and the amount of pressure on that neck was absolutely insane. He has such an underrated grappling game.

Does Pimblett get a title shot if he wins?published at 04:09 BST
Saint-Denis v Pimblett
Paddy Pimblett would love a shot at the UFC lightweight title if he picks up the win here but he's well aware he has to wait his turn.
He said: "The [lightweight] division is still stacked, as always. You have got Arman [Tsarukyan], Charles [Oliveira], Max - still multiple people ahead of me in the rankings that I need to beat, so we just have to move on from there and see who is next.
"Obviously I would love a rematch [with Geathje], but it is one of them -- I don't demand things and don't say 'I want this, I want that,' so you have just got to beat who is in front of you."

Daniel Cormier
Retired two-weight UFC champion on TNT SportsSaint-Denis is an absolute savage. He wears the French flag with pride and was in the most elite division there is in the French military service.
He overwhelms with pace, pressure and physicality that not many have in this weight class.

UFC commentator on TNT SportsPimblett's loss to Gaethje has done absolutely nothing to pour water on his flame. Look at how much fun he is having [in his ringwalk] and the way he fights - he is an animal.

You wouldn't think Paddy Pimblett is about to step into the octagon, would you?
He's dancing and singing his way to the cage and looks as chilled as ever.
Surely there are some nerves there.
