- Pimblett recently secured a first-round submission victory at UFC 329, rebounding from a previous decision loss to Gaethje in a fight for the interim lightweight championship.
- Although Pimblett is also interested in facing Ilia Topuria, who recently unified the lightweight belts with Gaethje, he prioritizes a title shot against Gaethje due to the champion's current status.
- The UFC has not announced its next lightweight matchups, with Gaethje reportedly considering retirement, which could impact potential rematch plans with Pimblett.
