Brown calls Gaethje vs. Pimblett sloppy

Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett met in the UFC 324 main event Saturday for the interim lightweight title, with both reportedly taking home Fight of the Night bonuses.

Former UFC welterweight Matt Brown criticized the contest as undisciplined and said it lacked the technical display he expects from a championship-caliber bout.

Brown reportedly echoed other critics who argued the fight played out more like a brawl than a showcase of elite MMA skill.

He added that neither man, based on that performance, convinced him they could beat reigning champion Ilia Topuria, and he still views Arman Tsarukyan as the division’s top threat.

Brown made the comments on his podcast, and his take is being discussed among MMA analysts.
