Paddy Pimblett choked out Benoit Saint Denis real quick at UFC 329 and returned to winning ways with a bang.
The Brit once more proved to fans and critics why he’s one of the best submission artists in the UFC when he snapped “God of War’s” four-fight winning streak earlier tonight.
As the UFC 329 co-main event commenced, Benoit Saint Denis came out aggressively, looking to stun Paddy Pimblett and force him onto the back foot.
However, as the Frenchman attempted to back “The Baddy” toward the fence and shoot for a takedown, Pimblett instantly jumped the gilly and then, from a dominant position, locked a tight D’Arce choke. Despite BSD’s desperate attempts to escape, the Brit put him to sleep in under a minute.
Official decision: Paddy Pimblett defeats Benoit Saint Denis via Submission (D’Arce Choke) at 0:52 of Round 1 at UFC 329.
Pimblett’s lone defeat in the UFC came against now-lightweight champion Justin Gaethje at UFC 324. However, with tonight’s stunning victory, he’s put his name right back in the title conversation.
