UFC 324 Preview: Why Paddy Pimblett Will End Justin Gaethje’s Career This Saturday
When Trevor Whitman says this is Justin Gaethje’s “last ride,” you know the stakes are real. At 37 years old, the former BMF champion faces the hungry 31-year-old Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title at UFC 324—and all three Ringside Report analysts are picking against him. Dave Simon sees a TKO finish reminiscent of the Chandler destruction. Fred Garcia likes a decision grind. AJ D’Alesio predicts another submission loss for Gaethje, adding to his Khabib and Oliveira defeats. Meanwhile, Sean O’Malley’s concerning embedded performance has Dave staying away from Sugar entirely. We break down every main card fight, deliver three different parlays, and discuss why Canadians are getting screwed with $100 pay-per-views while Americans pay $9 a month for Paramount+
UFC 2026 Predictions: O’Malley, Usman, and Unwanted Matchups
Dave Simon delivered his most controversial UFC 2026 predictions on Ringside Report MMA: the Paramount era will bring fights nobody wants. Sean O’Malley gets another undeserved title shot after one win over Song Yadong. Islam Makachev’s welterweight debut will be against Kamaru Usman instead of legitimate contenders like Shavkat Rakhmonov. Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje fight for an interim lightweight title that means nothing. Dave, AJ D’Alesio, and Fred Garcia explained why the UFC’s subscription model will prioritize star power over merit, making 2026 “the year the UFC gives us a bunch of fights no one asked for.” Plus Merab Dvalishvili’s fighter-of-the-year debate after his UFC 323 loss, Brandon Royval vs Manel Kape predictions, and the six-week UFC drought before the Paramount deal begins.
