Merab Dvalishvili Gives His Take on Justin Gaethje Vs. Paddy Pimblett, insists Ilia Topuria easily beats both

Reigning UFC bantamweight queen Merab Dvalishvili has given his thoughts on what the UFC 324 headliner featuring Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett could look like.

The fight between Gaethje and Pimblett for the interim lightweight title will headline UFC 324 on January 24, 2026, when the UFC debuts on Paramount+.

Dvalishvili gave his assessment of how he sees this fight going during a conversation with UFC on TNT Sports. While ‘The Machine’ favors ‘The Highlight’ as both fighters remain standing, and the combat is a striking feastthe Georgian also thinks that if the fight goes to the ground, Pimblett will have a better chance of winning with his superior jiu-jitsu skills. He said:

It will be an interesting fight because we know Paddy Pimblett, he does more jiu-jitsu wrestling. If they attack, I think Justin will beat him, but if they try to wrestle more, Paddy has this… Both can win.

However, Dvalishvili believes that regardless of who wins the interim title fight, neither Gaethje nor Pimblett will stand a chance against Topuria when it comes to unifying the title later this year. He added:

“They have no chance against Ilia. Paddy or Justin. Ilia is a very great champion, he hits hard, and he is also a good wrestler, he has good jiu-jitsu.”
