Justin Gaethje claimed the interim lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324, vaulting to #1 in the lightweight rankings and dropping Arman Tsarukyan to #2, Charles Oliveira to #3, and Max Holloway to #4. Holloway, holding the BMF title, is set to rematch Oliveira at UFC 326. Gaethje now positions as the next challenger for undisputed champion Ilia Topuria. This reshuffles the deep lightweight division, setting up high-stakes unification bouts. Expect Topuria's return to headline a major card soon.[2]
