Benoit Saint Denis is set to face Paddy Pimblett in a lightweight bout at UFC 329, marking a high-profile return for the surging contender.
Saint Denis enters the matchup on a four-fight winning streak in the UFC lightweight division, with two submission and two TKO victories during that run. Most recently, he stopped Dan Hooker by TKO at UFC 325 in Australia.
Overall, Saint Denis holds a 17-3 record in MMA and is 9-3 under the UFC banner. His current surge follows the first back-to-back losses of his career, after which he rebounded with his ongoing streak.
Pimblett comes into UFC 329 with a 23-4 record in MMA and a 7-1 mark in the UFC. He is looking to bounce back after a loss in an interim lightweight title fight earlier this year.
UFC 329 is scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 11.
