Despite losing a unanimous decision to Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 324, Paddy Pimblett retains his place among the top lightweight contenders and is positioned in fifth place in the updated rankings, released today by the UFC. Pimblett's loss, combined with Gaethje's interim crowning, has reordered the top lightweight positions: Arman Tsarukyan, Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway regress, while the division continues to show a competitive range of possible future champions. Pimblett is aiming for a recovery after a break, with options to face the winner of Dan Hooker vs. Benoit Saint Denis in the next UFC 325.
