Israel Adesanya compares UFC 324 main event to | MMA News
The first UFC event under the battle promotion’s new media rights settlement with Paramount is in the books. UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett happened on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and the main event was bonkers.
Former interim light-weight champion Justin Gaethje defeated Paddy Pimblett to turn out to be a two-time interim champion in an prompt basic headlining battle.
Former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in contrast the battle between Gaethje and Pimblett to The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 Finale between Forrest Griffin and the late Stephan Bonnar.
The Griffin and Bonnar battle is taken into account the most important battle in UFC historical past. With the promotion almost bankrupt, TUF was a last-ditch effort, a Hail Mary from the battle promotion on the verge of financial spoil. Griffin and Bonnar delivered a battle for the ages and the UFC immediately arrived in the mainstream. Adesanya believes Gaethje and Pimplett created a comparable second in the promotion’s first event on Paramount.
“The main event was sick. This is perfect because the Spike TV deal, Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar showed out and made the whole world go, ‘What the …’ This is like part 2 I guess because it’s the new deal with Paramount. And this main event f*cking showed out,” Adesanya said on his YouTube channel.
“I’m sure everyone watched this. A lot of eyes on this. And the main event delivered, which is what you want.”
