Pimblett vs. Gaethje: Prediction from Poirier

Alexandr Ormanji Jan. 20, 2026, 7:37 a.m.

Dustin Poirier gave his prediction on the upcoming fight between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje.

"I think Justin will stop Paddy. Simply put, Gaethje has already fought in 25-minute bouts; he's been in real wars. I think it will be very difficult for Paddy to stop him standing, and I don't think Paddy will be able to take him down to the ground, so he'll have to fight him. Unless Paddy can remain extremely disciplined for all 25 minutes, keep the distance, and land shots, Justin is just a more powerful puncher, and he'll be persistent in delivering one of those punches. It's hard to evade that for the full 25 minutes," said the American fighter in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
