“It’s a little difficult (to predict). (Justin) Gaethje is my favorite fighter, but (Charles of the Bronx) Oliveira is also up there with one of my favorites. I can't see Oliveira (taking him) to the ground, to be honest. I think Gaethje can knock him out in the first few rounds,” Pimblett said.

On May 7, Do Bronx will seek his second title defense. The Brazilian is on a ten-fight winning streak and has a record of 32 triumphs, eight setbacks and one 'no result' fight.

Gaethje, in turn, will have a second opportunity to assume the lightweight throne. In the first chance, the North American ended up submitting by Khabib Nurmagomedov, in 2020, in the confrontation to unify the title. He has a record of 23 positive results and three negative results.
