Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira reacted to the announcement of the interim title fight between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje.

It was previously announced that the Brit and the American will headline UFC 324, which will take place on January 24 in Las Vegas.

“I think Pimblett won't want to exchange blows with Gaethje, he will most likely try to take it to the ground. If he decides to stand and fight, he might end up being knocked out. But if he focuses on grappling, he will have a chance to become the champion. Still, I'm wholeheartedly rooting for Justin,” Oliveira is quoted by Bloody Elbow.
