Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion in two divisions, now a commentator and analyst, assessed Justin Gaethje's victory over Paddy Pimblett.
“He came up to me after the fight and said: ‘I definitely won, right?’ And I replied: ‘You crazy bastard,’ because he became the old Justin Gaethje again. The one who knocked out Dustin Poirier and defeated Rafael Fiziev. That restrained Justin was gone for a long time. It seemed like he understood the task: ‘We are on Paramount. This is a new network. There will be new viewers. We need to show what UFC is.’ I think after this fight, everyone who watched it will become lifelong UFC fans, because on special nights, no sport in the world can compare to UFC, and today was such a night.
