Pimblett is coming off the back of a loss to Justin Gaethje, the now-undisputed UFC lightweight champion, whereas BSD has put together a really solid run that has left him on the verge of earning a crack at the gold.

In a recent interview, Rafael Fiziev, who has title ambitions of his own, gave his thoughts on how Pimblett vs Saint Denis could play out.

Fiziev’s view on Pimblett vs Saint Denis

“Very good fight,” Fiziev told MMA Junkie. “For me, it’s very similar fighters. They like to do a little crazy stuff. They both fight, their fighting styles of Benoit and Paddy, they are like street fighters from the outside. Just guys who come from the street. The punching from everywhere, all the angles. They kick a different way.”

“These guys both have a big heart and I believe when the fight start they will go after each other and go bone-to-bone,” Fiziev said. “I think it’s going to be a Fight of the Night, for sure.”
