Benoit Saint Denis is locked in on delivering a statement when he meets Paddy Pimblett in the co-main event of UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena.
Saint Denis, a top contender in the 155-pound division, is set to face Pimblett on this year’s UFC International Fight Week card. He enters the matchup with a 17-3 MMA record and a 9-3 mark in the UFC, while Pimblett brings a 23-4 MMA record and a 7-1 UFC slate into the bout.
"It's a privilege to be here in such a huge card, and of course, it's a huge fight," Saint Denis said while previewing the matchup. "I'm fully concentrated on what I have to do and delivering you a Fight of the Night performance."
Saint Denis made it clear he is focused on the task at hand. "I do believe I put myself in a small group conversation, and it was part of it. It's a huge fight, and I'm not underestimating him," he said. "I never say anything before I get my job done. First of all, I believe you have to do your job, and then you can hear me loud and clear."
Saint Denis has stated that his ultimate goal is to become UFC champion, and UFC 329 offers him a co-main event showcase as he continues his run in the lightweight division.
