Paddy Pimblett believes Justin Gaethje could upset Ilia Topuria

Paddy Pimblett cautions against dismissing Justin Gaethje ahead of his title unifier with Ilia Topuria at UFC White House on June 14, highlighting the bout's profile and betting disparity. In remarks on YouTube, the former foe notes Ilia Topuria opened around -600 while Justin Gaethje sits near +425 as the underdog. Paddy Pimblett says he has a "sneaky suspicion" the American could produce an upset. He adds that competing at the White House, in front of the American President on his birthday during America's 250th year of Independence, could add motivation. Pimblett cites Gaethje's unanimous-decision win over him at UFC 324 after entering as a sizeable underdog.
