Why Chael Picked Paddy Pimblett to Beat Gaethje

Chael Sonnen breaks down why he initially believed Paddy Pimblett would defeat Justin Gaethje, and how fight week completely changed the narrative once the cage door closed. Sonnen explains how Gaethje’s unusual demeanor throughout fight week—angrier, more confrontational, and visibly irritated—signaled that something different was coming. While Sonnen originally leaned toward Pimblett based on youth, momentum, and grappling upside, Gaethje’s pressure, conditioning, and control quickly dismantled that expectation. The analysis focuses on Gaethje’s ability to dictate where fights take place. Using elite anti-wrestling, forward pressure, and relentless pace, Gaethje kept the fight exactly where he wanted it—on the feet, moving forward, and backing Pimblett up. Sonnen explains why backing up is one of the hardest things for a wrestler to overcome, and how Gaethje’s pressure neutralized Pimblett’s offense round after round. Sonnen also addresses the narrative of “old” or “vintage” Gaethje, explaining why this wasn’t a resurgence at all—but simply the same fighter fans have always seen. Gaethje walks opponents down, breaks them over time, and refuses to give ground. Finally, Sonnen looks ahead at what this result means for the lightweight division, including potential future opponents and why the loser of this fight may have ended up in a better position than the winner.
