Dana White shares photo of Pimblett's battered face

UFC president Dana White reportedly posted a backstage photo showing Paddy Pimblett with a heavily swollen, bruised face after the UFC 324 headliner.

The image followed Pimblett’s five-round unanimous decision loss to Justin Gaethje in Las Vegas on Jan. 24, 2026.

Pimblett was reportedly taken to a local hospital for precautionary scans after the bout.

The defeat ended the Liverpool fighter’s nine-fight winning run and served as his first loss inside the Octagon.

Matchups for his return are being discussed, with a possible fight against Dan Hooker among the names mentioned.
