Pimblett's Next Move in the UFC after Monumental Victory

Pimblett's significant UFC win and potential future opponents

Paddy Pimblett's career is on the rise after an impressive victory. Now, the question is who's next for him?

Options include Charles Oliveira, a former champion with a record for most finishes. Dustin Poirier, a future UFC Hall of Famer, has missed the undisputed championship on several occasions.

Justin Gaethje, another fine athlete yet to win the ultimate title, is also in the mix. Ilia Topuria, with a history of backstage clash, and Arman Tsarukyan, at the top of the rankings, are potential rivals.

It's an exciting time for Pimblett in the UFC lightweight division.
