Pimblett vs. Saint-Denis officially set for UFC 329 on July 11

The UFC has officially announced a lightweight bout between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint-Denis for UFC 329 on July 11. According to Ariel Helwani, the UFC is also working to book Holloway vs. McGregor for UFC 329 and Makhachev vs. Garry for UFC 330. Coach Gor Azizyan stated he would like Sergey Pavlovich to rematch Alexander Volkov, claiming Volkov only ran in their first fight and that Pavlovich just needs to change tactics. Anatoly Malykhin explained why he won't move to the UFC despite receiving offers, expressing loyalty to his current promotion's boss who gave him opportunities when no one else would. Alex Pereira and Max Holloway will be featured on the cover of UFC 6, with Pereira on the base edition and Holloway on the deluxe version.
