UFC 329: Benoit Saint Denis vs. Paddy Pimblett: Prediction
A TKO/KO win for Saint Denis over Pimblett is my prediction, mainly because of how Pimblett’s hands are always down and is susceptible to the powerful punches of the Saint Denis. Also, Saint Denis fights in a chaotic method and Pimblett seem to be struggling to keep up with these types of bouts.
Pimblett got hit several times during his bout with Justin Gaethje and he punished him with a his hands very low. Saint Denis could have the same approach against Pimblett by making him uncomfortable and force him on his back foot.
I know that scousers doesn’t get knocked out, but with the damage he received from Gaethje in his previous fight, Pimblett’s granite chin might be compromised and a clean punch from Saint Denis can put his lights out.
