In the countdown to the interim lightweight title fight (up to 70,3 kg), Paddy Pimblett showed in training how versatile he can be for the duel against Justin Gaethje , a challenge scheduled for UFC 324 on January 24th in Las Vegas (USA).

In a video posted on Instagram, the Englishman is shown performing a series of movements in training, many of them focused on takedowns and submissions. Pimblett has already won in the UFC via submissions and knockouts. And, judging by recent training, "The Baddy" has been preparing for different scenarios, especially in ground fighting.
