Max Holloway vs Paddy Pimblett could be next after UFC 329 wins
Max Holloway and Paddy Pimblett could meet inside the Octagon soon after their stoppage victories at UFC 329.
Both fighters earned quick finishes Saturday night, with Holloway submitting his opponent and Pimblett securing a first-round knockout. ESPN's Brett Okamoto reports the performances have positioned the lightweight contenders for a potential clash, though no official bout agreement has been reached.
Why the Holloway-Pimblett matchup makes sense
The pairing fits the UFC's typical matchmaking logic. Holloway, the former featherweight champion now campaigning at 155 pounds, has won two straight since moving up. Pimblett, meanwhile, extended his winning streak and called for a ranked opponent in his post-fight interview.
Both men are coming off full training camps and took minimal damage in their wins, making a quick turnaround realistic. The UFC has not announced a targeted date or event for the bout, but summer cards are reportedly under consideration.
