Pimblett Claims Top Jiu-Jitsu Status After UFC 309 Victory

Following his decisive victory over Benoit St. Denis at UFC 309, Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett has boldly declared that his jiu-jitsu is the best in the entire promotion.

Pimblett, who secured a win against St. Denis at UFC 309, expressed his confidence in his grappling abilities. He stated his belief that his submission skills are unparalleled within the stacked UFC lightweight division.

The fighter's assertion comes directly after his performance in the octagon, where his grappling prowess was on full display. This claim positions him as a top contender not just offensively, but specifically in the realm of Brazilian jiu-jitsu within the organization.

💬 SideLine Take

Pimblett's bold claim of having the world's best jiu-jitsu in the UFC is ambitious, but his recent performance offers a strong foundation for such a statement. The true test will be how he fares against other elite grapplers in the division.
