Rafael Fiziev, UFC lightweight, commented on the outcome of the fight between Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje.

“I was happy for Justin, but I’m surprised he wasn’t in shape for this fight, to be honest, because in the first round he was doing everything very slowly. He’s very slow. Looked like he was sick. Out of shape. I think if he was in the same shape when I fought him in London, he would have finished Paddy in the first two rounds. I don’t think he was really 100% ready for the fight. I saw his neck. It might have looked like a staph infection. But Paddy surprised me. His head is really tough.”
