- While Pimblett favors striking, he remains prepared to wrestle if necessary, emphasizing his unconventional and awkward grappling style that sets him apart from typical wrestlers.
- A victory over Gaethje would earn Pimblett the interim lightweight title and set up a unification bout against undisputed champion Ilia Topuria, though Pimblett acknowledges critics
