The Liverpudlian star would become only the fourth British UFC champion in history, following Michael Bisping, Leon Edwards and Tom Aspinall, should he overcome Gaethje for the interim Lightweight Championship belt.

Pimblett, nicknamed The Baddy, is a fan favourite and remains undefeated in the UFC after seven appearances, from his debut in 2021 to his most recent victory over Michael Chandler in April last year.
