Gaethje Stays Relentless, Denies Pimblett Interim Gold at UFC 324
TL;DR
Justin Gaethje outpointed Paddy Pimblett by unanimous decision to capture the interim lightweight title at UFC 324 in Las Vegas, while Sean O’Malley edged Song Yadong to keep his title-shot dream alive; Waldo Cortes-Acosta stopped Derrick Lewis; Umar Nurmagomedov controlled Deiveson Figueiredo; Natalia Silva defeated Rose Namajunas; Krylov and other winners closed the prelims with finishes.
