UFC fans were blown away after seeing Paddy Pimblett’s first fight week face off with Justin Gaethje.
The Liverpudlian will throw down with the fan favourite for the interim lightweight title early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 324 in Las Vegas.
The duo, 31 and 37 respectively, took part in their first pre-fight face-off in their full fight gear earlier this week.
The UFC‘s new North American broadcast partners, Paramount Plus, released the footage on X on Wednesday.
And MMA fans were in awe of Pimblett‘s reach advantage over ‘The Highlight’.
One wrote: “Look at the Length on Paddy… Good Lord.”
Another said: “Paddy’s reach compared to Justin is insane, bro.”
And another said: “Paddy’s reach is longer than 73 inches.
“Justin’s is 70, and Paddy’s is much longer, maybe 74 1/2.”
One remarked: “Paddy looks like a freaking middle weight.”

Another chimed in: “Paddy’s gonna put Justin to sleep.”
Pimblett’s reach, which he used to brilliant effect in his beatdown of Michael Chandler last April, is officially listed at 73inches.
Gaethje’s, meanwhile, is listed at 70 inches.
Victory in Sin City will see Pimblett become only the fourth Brit to hold UFC gold behind legends Michael Bisping, Leon Edwards and Tom Aspinall.
