"Never seen him give up, and luckily I found some success early. I was going to have to steal some momentum, and he was very confident and I had to take that early. The moment I stepped in there he didn't take his eyes off me. That was me not too long ago, and I guess that was Eddie Alvarez here to teach him a lesson. Same thing he did to me."
"I definitely need some time off. He f*cking rocked my brain a couple times, and the only thing we have over the more dangerous sports which is boxing and football, is we get to take time. So I will do that, but the White House is in June, and I represent this country. I represented it tonight. There's no way to keep me off that card unless I'm dead,"
Justin Gaethje captured the UFC interim lightweight title for a second time by defeating Paddy Pimblett in the main event of UFC 324. Gaethje highlighted Pimblett's toughness and expected persistent pressure from the rising contender. Gaethje achieved early success and prioritized seizing momentum before Pimblett could settle into the fight. Gaethje likened the result to Eddie Alvarez teaching a lesson similar to one Gaethje experienced. Gaethje described a method to his apparent chaos and credited his coach for training excellence in close, fast exchanges. Gaethje acknowledged the need for recovery after taking heavy shots and plans to pursue a June card.
