Gaethje: I didn't underestimate Pimblett, walked through his kicks to win UFC 324

Justin Gaethje defeated Paddy Pimblett by unanimous decision at UFC 324, becoming a two-time UFC interim lightweight champion, and said he was surprised by how well he performed. He pressed the action, shut down Pimblett's range and takedowns by staying in punching range and walking through Pimblett's kicks, instead of grappling. Pimblett threw five takedowns (three in the final round) but Gaethje largely controlled the pace, explaining that the first minute told him he could take shots and commit to aggression; some fighters criticized the bout afterward.
