Report
Justin Gaethje turned in a more measured performance than his all-action reputation suggests, boxing smartly and managing distance to outpoint the surging Paddy Pimblett over five rounds and claim the UFC interim lightweight title.
The victory positioned Gaethje for an undisputed title shot, which he would convert in dramatic fashion months later. For Pimblett, it was a step up that came up short against a far more experienced operator.
