Adesanya likens Gaethje vs. Pimblett to Griffin-Bonnar

Israel Adesanya drew parallels between the Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett main event and the historic Griffin‑Bonnar fight.

The bout headlined UFC 324 on Saturday, the promotion's first card of 2026 and the debut under UFC's new broadcast deal with Paramount.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Adesanya reportedly said the main event delivered the kind of breakout spectacle the organization wanted for its new television era.

He also praised both fighters for their performances, with the matchup being discussed as an early favorite for Fight of the Year.
