Pimblett vs. Saint Denis 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 finalize Max Holloway vs. Conor McGregor for UFC 329 and Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry for UFC 330. Additionally, Gadzhi Azizyan, coach of fighters like Pavlovich, Shara, Guskov, and Walker, stated he would like Sergei Pavlovich to rematch Alexander Volkov, claiming Volkov only ran during their fight and Pavlovich simply needs a tactical adjustment. Anatoly Malykhin explained why he won't move to the UFC despite offers, citing loyalty to ONE Championship and his boss who gave him opportunities when no one else would.
