""25 minutes in time. Right now, what he's saying right now does not matter. All that tells me is that hopefully he's going to be overconfident, and the last thing you can do in this sport is have false confidence. He'd be crazy to think and not know that I'm one of the most dangerous guys he's ever fought.""
""different training, different mindset, different tactics. I want to take him to the fourth of fifth round. I want to do the same thing, turn his face into mincemeat. I've done it before, done it to high-caliber fighters, but this guy has a lot of momentum right now, a lot of confidence, and those are some of the most dangerous variables that I will be facing when I step in there.""
Justin Gaethje aims to claim the interim lightweight title at UFC 324 in Las Vegas. He identifies himself as the most consistent and exciting fighter on the card. Gaethje dismisses Paddy Pimblett's warnings as irrelevant within a 25-minute fight window and interprets them as potential overconfidence. Gaethje highlights a major experience gap, noting he has been scheduled for five-round fights around 20 times while Pimblett has three five-round bouts, all in Cage Warriors and none in the UFC. Gaethje intends to push the fight into the fourth and fifth rounds to exploit conditioning, experience, and tactical differences.
