Benoit Saint Denis has been installed as a slight betting favorite over Paddy Pimblett ahead of their lightweight showdown at UFC 329.
Saint Denis and Pimblett are set to meet on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, in a matchup between two top-10 lightweights. Saint Denis is ranked No. 5 in the official lightweight rankings, while Pimblett sits at No. 6.
Caesars Sportsbook lists Saint Denis as a -170 favorite, with Pimblett opening as a +145 underdog for the bout.
Pimblett enters UFC 329 coming off his first UFC loss, which came in an interim lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje in January. He holds a 23-4 MMA record and is 7-1 in the UFC after winning his first seven appearances in the promotion.
Saint Denis owns a 17-3 professional mark and is 9-3 in the UFC. After dropping back-to-back fights to Dustin Poirier and Renato Moicano in 2024, he rebounded with four straight victories, including a TKO win over Dan Hooker at UFC 326.
