Michael Bisping has suggested that the UFC had little choice in pairing Paddy Pimblett with Benoit Saint-Denis, as the Liverpudlian aims to bounce back from his first loss in the promotion.
In January, Pimblett was thoroughly outpointed by Justin Gaethje in an interim title fight, with the latter now going on to challenge Ilia Topuria for the undisputed lightweight belt – at the White House, no less.
