00:00Self-protective, when I say stop, you stop, if you want to touch, do it now.
00:03God bless.
00:07That's right, God bless.
00:12Just engaging Patty Pimblitt for the UFC interim lightweight title, five rounds, if need be.
00:30And with that, we are underway. Gaethje in black. Pimblitt opens southpaw. He is in orange.
00:44You know, Justin, when he first got here, was a big-time leg kicker.
00:48He laid off that as his career went on. I think tonight it would benefit him to kick the legs of Patty Pimblitt.
00:55Nice right hand there by Pimblitt.
00:57Look at the size of Patty.
01:01Yeah, he's big.
01:03Body kick partially gets through for Pimblitt.
01:05You don't realize it until you see him in there.
01:08Because he looks so skinny when he's on the scale.
01:11That dude feels all overnight.
01:19Left hand lands for Pimblitt. Oh!
01:21Oh, good right hand by Gaethje.
01:25Gaethje connects to the body.
01:27Hold that hand, Justin.
01:31Push back on, let him walk you far.
01:35And it's the right, and he dips, he's better going.
01:38Pimblitt does back up at times with chin ascending to the end.
01:41Oh, yeah.
01:42Oh!
01:43Good knee for Pimblitt, an uppercut from Gaethje.
01:47Gaethje had a lot of shots there.
01:49Yes, he did.
01:49Stay on.
01:52Left hand lands for Gaethje.
01:54Gaethje just seems to just be going to...
01:57Oh!
01:58Oh!
01:59And Pimblitt in an uppercut.
02:00Pimblitt in a wall and shovel only.
02:06Pimblitt trying to defend right in front of this corner.
02:09He has got Gaethje's power right away.
02:11You remember what Charles Oliveira said?
02:14The person that hit him harder than anyone else was Justin Gaethje.
02:20He's from under here.
02:28Gaethje welcomes Pimblitt back to his feet.
02:31Pimblitt lands an uppercut, or so it appeared.
02:33Yeah, Gaethje keeps his hands real high when he gets close, though.
02:36Watch how he kind of dips his head forward when his hand's up when he gets close to Pimblitt.
02:46If Paddy can't get respect from Justin to keep him off of him, he's going to have a hard time.
02:52He's got to find the takedown if you're Pimblitt.
02:54That was a good leg kick.
02:59I know he fell, but that was a real good kick.
03:01Oh!
03:01Nice knee up the middle.
03:02Pimblitt to the body and now a left hand.
03:04And that draws a wry smile for Gaethje.
03:06That's a big cut down.
03:12Justin has to be careful.
03:14He's getting clipped because he's coming in kind of recklessly.
03:17He doesn't respect the power of Pimblitt.
03:21And this is old school Gaethje, right?
03:23This is not what we saw against Fazek.
03:26Or Dustin Poirier when he head kicked.
03:28Yeah.
03:29He was much more measured.
03:31Reckless abandon on both sides tonight.
03:33He's only a bar.
03:39A lot of our fellow analysts had strong opinions about Gaethje's emotions this week on both sides.
03:47But he definitely seemed emotional during play.
03:49Paddy thought that he got to him.
03:51Yeah.
03:53Nice counter combination by Gaethje.
03:59But again, still no kicks from Gaethje.
04:01Paddy's landing some very good low kicks, though.
04:03Yep.
04:08That uppercut has landed multiple times.
04:10If you're in a corner just like this.
04:18Outer combination by Gaethje.
04:20But again, still no kicks from Gaethje.
04:22Paddy's landing some very good low kicks, though.
04:24Yep.
04:25That uppercut has landed multiple times.
04:35If you're in a corner of Justin Gaethje right now, you're yelling at him to calm down.
04:43You can see it all right.
04:44Because you can see Paddy landing.
04:46Justin.
04:46And Paddy's landing really good.
04:49If Gaethje isn't careful, he's going to put him down.
04:51A new last warning.
04:52Your hand was open.
04:53No more.
04:54One touch, your automatic point, okay?
04:56The first, the last.
04:57Good.
04:58Fight.
04:58Nicely handled by Mark Goddard.
05:00A stern warning for Gaethje on the minute.
05:02Now to go round one.
05:03Pimblit right back on the gas.
05:07Gaethje needs to throw leg kicks.
05:09I don't know if that wasn't a part of the game because of the takedown threat.
05:13Oh.
05:14Good kick.
05:16He's punishing the legs of Gaethje.
05:18Those are brutal.
05:21Good right hand by Gaethje.
05:22Oh!
05:25Oh!
05:26Oh, Pimblit now covers with a left.
05:30These dudes are going at it.
05:33Gaethje's fighting like the Gaethje of his first five fights.
05:37Yes, he is.
05:39And look at Paddy landing on his big knees.
05:41Pimblit's fighting fire with fire.
05:43Waiting seconds around one.
05:46This place is going to go nuts if we see around two.
05:50But maybe Gaethje figures, I've had these fights before.
05:54This kid hasn't.
05:56I don't know, but it's dangerous, man.
05:58He just tried to throw a low kick, but it looked like his legs are compromised.
06:02One round down.
06:09You land a good shot.
06:10You land a good shot.
06:11Yeah, we did the body shot.
06:12Yeah, that's okay.
06:12Recover.
06:13Yeah, no, that's why I went.
06:14Shut down, recover.
06:15Let's recover.
06:17Look.
06:17One round down.
06:18No, you land a good shot.
06:20Listen, when you get him back to the cage and lead on this too low, you're seeing him load
06:24them accurate at the fucking neck.
06:26Look at me.
06:27A short shot.
06:28Don't get wild.
06:29Look at me.
06:30And keep touching here.
06:31Don't go too low.
06:32Stop dipping to the side.
06:33I need your head in the chest.
06:34When we're on the cage, head position.
06:36Dude, you'll kill this guy if you keep his...
06:39Right here, you see Gaethje throw the right hand.
06:42Misses.
06:43Another right hand catches Pimblit.
06:45Then the uppercut puts him down.
06:47Beautiful job by Justin Gaethje.
06:51All right, here's a look from the broadcast booth brought to you by Total Wireless, the
06:55official wireless provider of UFC Unlimited 5G data that won't slow you down.
06:59Now, that's a total power move.
07:02You might have heard Justin Gaethje say to his corner, what hurt me?
07:04Pimblit ever presence on the stool after a round one.
07:13Coach Whitman was telling Justin to stop dipping his hand.
07:17Right now, he's dipping off to the right very bad.
07:23It looks like Justin is swinging for home runs instead of fighting technique.
07:33Oh, nice left hook.
07:34Oh, those leg kicks.
07:39They're torturing him.
07:40Yeah, they're going to get Justin bad if he doesn't start checking them.
07:43And Justin's not landing any of his own.
07:45Beautiful inside leg kicking a jab by Pimblit.
07:48Power right from Gaethje in return.
07:57Gaethje goes to that front headlock and starts trying to throw the right hand underneath.
08:00What you need, what you need, what you need, what you need.
08:06If you're Paddy, how much do you want this fight on the ground?
08:09Because here you can start trying to roll to your back and pull him into your guard and start trying to make him grapple with you.
08:17Pimblit with some significant swelling to the right of his right eye.
08:21Oh, good lead left by Gaethje.
08:27Gaethje's all boxed.
08:28Very few kicks.
08:32So surprising to see him just abandoned.
08:35What was his best skill early in his course?
08:38Oh, is Tami Pimblit hurt that left wheel?
08:41Perhaps not.
08:41Oh, a nice knee.
08:55Paddy is mixing up his weapons better than Justin.
09:01Justin is just looking for KO.
09:04He's looking all KO.
09:06And Paddy just drilling these knees inside.
09:10Nice uppercut there by Gaethje.
09:13What a fight.
09:15Three minutes to go round two.
09:19The pressure.
09:20The pressure, though, can really get to Paddy.
09:24He can't go backwards the whole time.
09:26That's what exhausts him.
09:26I've been knee to the body by Paddy.
09:28I mean, the way Pimblit throws that knee from him close, very impressive.
09:37Yeah, a lot of power behind it.
09:40In the old days, Justin used to throw low kicks from inside the clinch.
09:45Good jab by Gaethje.
09:52Pimblit seeing things pretty well defensively.
09:54Good knee to the body by Paddy.
10:02Single leg, single leg.
10:03Coming up to my elbow.
10:05Yeah!
10:07Pimblit hands by his side.
10:10Tremendous pressure by Justin.
10:12Yep, a lot of pressure.
10:14Another hard low kick by Paddy.
10:18Oh, nice uppercutting case here.
10:20Another for a headlock, pull him down.
10:22Now watch Gaethje try to punch here for a little bit until...
10:24He starts feeling like he's losing the position.
10:29Pimblit needs to catch one of the hands, the one that's on his chin,
10:33and pull it close.
10:36Or start trying to get creative and roll it towards Justin,
10:40trying to grab onto a leg or something.
10:42Single leg in!
10:43That's that leg!
10:43You can hear his coach yelling go to a single leg.
10:46And even this front headlock, it's exhausting for the guy on the bottom.
10:58Just to squeeze him laying on top of you.
11:02Paddy needs to try to drive him up to the octagon side.
11:05He hurt him with that knee.
11:07He hurt him with that knee.
11:11There we go.
11:15There we go.
11:15We just got the knee isolated and our bottom
11:21will look like it hit right along the neck slash chest area.
11:24Good job.
11:25That bothered the right eye of Pimblit.
11:38I mean, Gaethje's trying to just bully him.
11:41Pimblit's right over and it's smashed.
11:43Pimblit's right over and it's smashed.
11:44Oh my goodness.
11:54Gaethje credited with two knockdowns.
12:04Oh, nice entry by Gaethje.
12:09Oh!
12:10Cracking right hand by the American.
12:13Oh, he's beating him up now.
12:15Pimblit's in a lot of trouble.
12:19And again, Gaethje's been here many, many times.
12:22Yes.
12:23This is new for Paddy.
12:24Paddy's hurt bad.
12:27He's hurt.
12:27You've got to take him down.
12:29You have to take him down.
12:30Do you understand?
12:31Look at me.
12:32You want this belt.
12:33You want the belt.
12:34Listen, he's going to come for you now.
12:36He's going to try and knock you out.
12:37Get that off.
12:38Do you understand?
12:39I'm doing it.
12:39You're good.
12:40On the wall, you're landing good shots.
12:44You're landing great shots.
12:45I mean, you know he's going to go again.
12:47Let's commit to this single.
12:49Paddy, listen.
12:50You need to get him down this.
12:51Give him my hands away by having your hands low.
12:53Please keep your hands up.
12:54Okay?
12:55Oh, Goddard is looking at that right now.
13:11They have that replay thing.
13:12And then the right hand behind him is what dropped him.
13:16But that eye poke is what really hurt him.
13:18But that's all.
13:19It's going to just make it.
13:22Wow.
13:22They're not going to call it.
13:24Yeah.
13:25That's crazy because that definitely compromised his right eye.
13:28Well, I said off the top of the fight, Gaethje's tagline all week.
13:33All the champions push their opponents backwards.
13:35He said in every interview, that's what he's doing.
13:37Pressure fighters make world champions.
13:40I believe that.
13:41And you see Justin just fighting with that thought, John.
13:46He said it.
13:47And you wonder if you believe it.
13:51There's a low kick.
13:51There it is.
13:54Oh, nice jab by Paddy.
14:00Paddy's corner is begging him to try to get a takedown.
14:03Nice kick.
14:04Nice kick.
14:05Get down.
14:06Set the circle.
14:11Get your legs, buddy.
14:36Get your legs, buddy.
14:36Get your legs, buddy.
14:41Good jab by Paddy.
14:44Oh, nice.
14:47That's a good start.
14:49That's a good start.
14:49Good low kick by Pimbley as well.
14:55Another good jab.
14:58It's impressive how Pimbley's bounced back after that tough round.
15:03At least to start.
15:04He's in tremendous shape.
15:06Best shape of his career, he says.
15:09Good jab by K.
15:10It feels like Pimbley's made a choice not to get backed up.
15:25Yeah.
15:27Hold this close.
15:27Yep.
15:31Justin's got to find a way to get him going backwards again.
15:33Like Dean said, when you press him, that's when you can put him against the octagon.
15:39Side, and then four punches.
15:42It's like Justin waits for Paddy to peter out a little bit, and then he puts it on him.
15:47But Paddy is doing a brilliant job with this jab.
15:53And he's recovering so well.
15:56Oh, nice jab.
15:57Nice jab by Pimbley.
16:06Body kick is there for Pimbley.
16:07Oh.
16:11Beautiful low kick by Justin.
16:12Yep.
16:12That's the one.
16:13All right.
16:14Let us check in on the Pimbley corner to our immediate right.
16:16Oh, nice right hand.
16:18He keeps dipping his head too much in the side.
16:33He's trying to load up on it.
16:37Yeah, maybe something with that right hand, Joe.
16:46Yeah, and he keeps touching it and adjusting it.
16:49And it looked like he threw a punch, and then he was in pain.
16:55You're always good at picking those things up, Joe, and you're right.
16:57Very good with the right hand to the left, though.
17:02Oh, Pimbley.
17:05Pimbley.
17:10Gaethje getting pretty flinchy despite landing some shots of his own.
17:13He's getting pretty flinchy despite landing some shots of his own.
17:16He's heart.
17:16You're never going to get the big jump away.
17:17Get it, man, you're not going to get the big jump away.
17:18Just, just, get it, man!
17:28Pimbley rises with a knee!
17:31He's dipping his head very bad.
17:32But now, Justin's reacting like that one went low.
17:37Stay there, Justin, stay there, stay there.
17:44Yeah, no doubt about that.
17:50That was low.
17:52Stay there.
17:53I got it, I got it.
17:55Daddy.
18:00Tell me when you got it.
18:04Well, Gaethje's reaction clearly was on the fighter who got feed in the court.
18:11Take your time, all right?
18:12Okay?
18:13Good.
18:14All right, final minute now of round three.
18:25Hamlet certainly realizing a second win here on round three.
18:28Yes, he is.
18:29It feels like Gaethje's now almost took this round off,
18:32and Paddy's taking advantage of it.
18:34He may not be able to get that momentum back.
18:36Pimble's fighting really well right now.
18:41Oh, good jab by Gaethje.
18:43Paddy is punishing those legs.
18:46Those kicks are nasty.
18:51And perhaps we've seen more leg kicks from Gaethje this round
18:53because that right hand is unfrozen.
18:55There it is.
18:56Oh!
18:58That right hand was nasty.
19:02Oh!
19:04No pressure!
19:06No pressure!
19:07No pressure!
19:08No pressure!
19:09No pressure!
19:10No pressure!
19:11No pressure!
19:12No pressure!
19:13No pressure!
19:14No pressure!
19:15No pressure!
19:16No pressure!
19:17No pressure!
19:18No pressure!
19:19No pressure!
19:20No pressure!
19:21No pressure!
19:22Get your head in the chest!
19:23No more dropping off to the side!
19:24You got me?
19:25You want this, right?
19:27Of course.
19:28Keep it together.
19:29Don't get lazy.
19:40Tonight's championship rounds are brought to you by Ram Trucks.
19:45Nothing stops Ram.
19:52Round four of a possible five to decide the UFC's interim lightweight title.
19:56Gagey opens with a jab to the body.
19:58Well, you heard Trevor Whitman tell him,
20:00if you're having trouble hitting him in the center,
20:01you got to back him up.
20:02He wants him back on that pressure.
20:05Pimblit does a really good job of taking his head off the center
20:07when he's jabbing.
20:13Gagey is fond of saying every fight is a traumatic life experience.
20:17This qualifies as well.
20:22Push.
20:24Push.
20:24Push.
20:26Oh!
20:30Looked like a good left hand there from Pimblit
20:32after Gagey landed the right.
20:34Gagey hit him with two big right hands.
20:36Another one.
20:37Oh!
20:40Oh, left hook there!
20:42You heard him again.
20:43Look at left hook.
20:43Again.
20:46I mean, just like Dean said,
20:48if Patty gets to the octagon side,
20:50he's almost lost.
20:52He's almost lost.
21:00Gagey has a cradle here.
21:03Maybe trying to just kill some time.
21:05Because he knows that when Patty gets up,
21:07he's going to be Robocop back into him.
21:08He's going to look back to work on the jab.
21:19Oh!
21:20Go!
21:30Gagey's just created a car crash.
21:32Yes, he is.
21:32Exactly.
21:33Get on him!
21:34Get on him!
21:35Get on him!
21:35Get on him!
21:36Go!
21:36Go!
21:37Go!
21:38Go!
21:38Go!
21:39Go!
21:39Go!
21:40Go!
21:40Go!
21:41Go!
21:41Go!
21:42Go!
21:42Go!
21:43Another low kick.
21:45Yeah, Pimblit continues to attack all levels.
21:55Gaethje's right hand stumbles, Pimblit.
21:57It's two fights.
21:58When Justin Gaethje's going forward,
22:00he is really in control of this fight.
22:02But when they're at the center,
22:04if Paddy Pimblit doesn't have to retreat,
22:06he's landing and giving as good as he's taking.
22:09Oh!
22:10Not a big left, Pimblit on the ropes!
22:13Oh!
22:16He hurt him bad.
22:17Man, Paddy Pimblit is tough.
22:19He's so tough.
22:21I mean, Justin is taking much lesser men out with these balls.
22:25Yes.
22:28Pimblit able to land his jab,
22:31but the body language is not good now.
22:34Big right hand by Gaethje.
22:43What a fight!
22:44What a fight!
22:45What a fight!
22:46Oh, my goodness!
22:47A lot of people watching the UFC for the first time tonight.
22:50Oh!
22:51Oh!
22:52Something hurt Pimblit.
22:53I think it was me.
22:54I think he hit him low.
22:55I think he hit him low.
22:56I think he hit him low.
22:57He said it was a low blow.
22:58He said it was a low blow.
22:59They actually looked at it in a replay.
23:01Oh, God didn't see it.
23:02Yeah, that was low.
23:09Yeah, I think that was Beltline.
23:11I think that one might have been Beltline.
23:16Jab is there for Gaethje.
23:20It is open to interpretation, but when it touches the cup,
23:24it's an illegal strike,
23:26and Pimblit did not get the benefit that Gaethje did in the fight.
23:29I think we'll have to look at it again.
23:33If this fight goes to the next round, we'll get a chance.
23:38Pimblit with a nice sequence, lands the kick to the bottom.
23:41Oh, big jab.
23:42Look at the face of Paddy Pimblit.
23:44He's just busted up.
23:46Go, baby!
23:49But he just stays so present in fighting.
23:52Got the war that he thought he might get.
23:57Right hand coming.
23:58Oh, Gaethje threw over his feet there.
24:01That was a bad punch.
24:02Pimblit does a good job when he throws that retreating body kick.
24:11Look at the output and effectiveness in round four.
24:14Oh, Gaethje's just winging these punches.
24:17I mean, completely off balance.
24:19Push, push.
24:22Oh, nice back fist.
24:24Go, no, Chad.
24:26And go, Chad.
24:27Go, go, go, go.
24:29Push.
24:30Yes, Bobby.
24:30Yes, Bobby.
24:31No win.
24:32Pimblit picks it up his kicks now, Chad.
24:33No win.
24:34Pimblit with Paddy Pimblit.
24:35Oh, good combination by Paddy.
24:38Gaethje might be on the ropes now.
24:46Oh, my goodness.
24:51Oh, what a fight through 20.
24:53Woo!
24:54What a fight.
24:55What a fight.
24:57My goodness.
25:00And what a round for Gaethje.
25:02Yes.
25:02Listen, you need to stay in the middle and fucking boxing it
25:06and cause chaos within me.
25:08Get him down and finish him.
25:10You have...
25:11Look, I want to be honest with you.
25:12Five minutes to get a finish.
25:13Five minutes, you need to finish him.
25:14Do you want the belts?
25:15What are we going to do then?
25:16Are we going to take him down?
25:17We need to put it all on this round.
25:19Anytime we get him near the wall, let's wrestle him to the wall.
25:22Start tripping him.
25:23Let's commit to a takedown and let's go.
25:25Okay, this is the best round of your life coming up.
25:27Just get on the shadow.
25:28And I want like 80% shots.
25:30I want him clean.
25:31When you hit him with the hook right here, it was on the chin.
25:34That's all we need.
25:35You don't need a finishing shot.
25:37Trust me.
25:38You need two at a time and place him.
25:40Great job.
25:41Great job.
25:42One more round like that.
25:44A standing ovation greets the athletes here at T-Mobile Arena at the start of round five.
26:05We'll see if Paddy the Batty Pimlet can pull the page out of Leon Edwards' script.
26:10His fellow countryman who epically won the title against Kamal Usman back in 2022.
26:15Fifth and final round.
26:16Here we go.
26:17Paddy's corner said, we need you to stay in the middle and box him.
26:20Try to get him to the corner and get a takedown.
26:23Paddy Pimlet has only attempted two or three takedowns to go fight.
26:28Oh!
26:35Oh!
26:36Oh, he's done with that right hand.
26:38That was a crazy right hand.
26:41That was a crazy right hand.
26:42How's he still up?
26:43This is a fight.
26:46What a fight.
26:47What a fight.
26:48It's gonna be in the fight of the year conversation a couple months from now.
26:52Oh!
26:53Oh!
26:54Oh!
26:55Pimlet somehow ate that cross from Gaethje.
26:58Armand Sarokyan shining in on threads.
27:01He believes Gaethje's up 3-1.
27:04Good job by Gaethje.
27:10The crazy thing is Gaethje looks unmarked.
27:16I was gonna say...
27:19He's been hurt, but as yet not cut.
27:22Barely swollen.
27:23I mean, look at the face of Paddy.
27:27Hey, Paddy Pimlet.
27:28Paddy Pimlet needs to finish this fight.
27:30Just like his coach just told him.
27:31And it seems like that's exactly what he's trying to do.
27:34He's landed two or three really good shots on Justin Gaethje.
27:38But he's been hit also.
27:40And it's during the breakaway that Justin's been able to land these big shots.
27:47Trevor Whitman told Justin, throw it about 80%.
27:50He said, this guy's gonna go down when you hit him with multiple shots.
27:53It doesn't feel like one punch is gonna put Paddy Pimlet down.
27:57Oh!
27:58Is that takedown Pimlet's been looking for?
28:01Pimlet going all in, Gaethje.
28:04Upright at least for now.
28:06Under three minutes to go.
28:08Gaethje needs to re-dig an underhook.
28:10He can't allow Pimlet to stay with two underhooks.
28:12Paddy's really good in this position.
28:15And if Pimlet wants to score here,
28:17he's gotta trip or step in front of Justin Gaethje.
28:20With his right leg, he's starting to try to rotate him down to the mat.
28:31Gaethje's doing a great job of standing up.
28:34He's staying one step ahead of Pimlet.
28:36Pimlet's trying to confuse him by rotating and taking him to the backside,
28:40but Justin's doing a really good job of recognizing what he's trying to set up.
28:46He's free.
28:49Oh, looks for that right hand on the break.
28:51Another right hand!
28:52Good fight IQ as Gaethje flurries.
28:56The knee!
28:57The knee!
28:58The knee!
28:59Punishing knees by Justin.
29:00Two minutes now to go.
29:05And now we see if Pimlet has one final spurt.
29:15Gaethje staying heavy.
29:20Pimlet finally showing that he's a human being.
29:26Looks exhausted.
29:27Big right for Gaethje.
29:28Boy, he's taking so much damage.
29:30The fact that he's still standing upright is crazy.
29:33And throwing.
29:36Pimlet trying to work in some deception.
29:50But Justin's not too.
29:52They're more tired.
29:57Big combination for Pimlet.
29:59Gaethje clinches.
30:01There is no quit in Pimlet.
30:11What a fight.
30:12This fight is crazy.
30:14If every fight on this card sucked,
30:19and we watch this,
30:20it's gonna be a crazy successful night.
30:23These guys have laid it out on the line, man.
