Gaethje v Pimblett – predictions for UFC title fight

Paddy Pimblett aims to make history when he faces Justin Gaethje for the UFC lightweight interim title on Saturday in Las Vegas.

The 31-year-old can become Liverpool’s first UFC title holder with victory and only the fourth Briton to become a UFC interim or undisputed champion.

Gaethje, 37, poses a serious threat to those ambitions as a top contender in the lightweight division for the past eight years and a former interim champion.

Can Pimblett pull off a famous victory? Or will Gaethje bring the Pimblett train to a halt?

You can follow all the action from 03:00 GMT on Sunday, 25 January on the BBC Sport website and app.

BBC Sport asked the world of MMA for predictions.
