Benoit Saint Denis (17-3-0) and Paddy Pumblett (23-4-0) will clash in the UFC Lightweight class on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Saint Denis will enter this contest as the -143 favorite, looking to keep the winning momentum. “The God of War” has picked up stoppage victories in his last four assignments, with the latest being a KO win over Dan Hooker in January this year. He’ll be keen to add another KO win to his 6-2 record this weekend.
Paddy Pimblett, on the other hand, is the exciting +116 betting underdog. The 31-year-old Englishman is easily one of the most-watched and likeable characters in MMA, making him a good business asset. Since joining the franchise in September 2021, Paddy has won his seven straight fights before earning a title shot against Justin Gaethje at UFC 324. However, he lost the fight via unanimous decision and will be keen to get himself back into the title conversation with a win.

Our Benedict Saint Denis vs Paddy Pimblett Prediction
Saint Denis has age and momentum on his side. The 30-year-old has kept on disappointing his doubters with impressive KO and submission wins in his recent assignments. He’s a high-volume striker with dangerous knockout power. He averages 5.62 significant strikes per minute, with a 58% success rate. However, Pimblett matches him perfectly in this comparison, averaging 5.49 significant strikes per minute with a 52% success rate. The Englishman will want to exploit Saint Denis’ unconvincing defensive lines and hit him too often. His jiu-jitsu background also makes him a tricky opponent on his back, even when he’s knocked down. We’re backing the tricky Pimblett to win by stoppage this weekend.
Our prediction for Benoit Saint Denis vs Paddy Pimblett: Total rounds to stay under 2.5.
