Adesanya backs Pimblett vs Gaethje

    Paddy Pimblett meets Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title in the UFC 324 headliner this Saturday in Las Vegas.

    Former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya says he relates to Pimblett's situation and views the matchup as the young fighter's toughest test so far.

    Adesanya reportedly considers Pimblett the safer pick and predicts a Pimblett win by decision or submission, while noting Gaethje remains a dangerous opponent.

    He compared Pimblett's moment to his own early title opportunity and said he wants to see the fighter perform when pushed into deeper waters.
