UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping believes a potential showdown between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 329 is a “fight to make” due to its immense marketing appeal.
Bisping, speaking on his podcast, championed the matchup, emphasizing that it possesses all the necessary elements for significant promotional success. He highlighted the contrasting personalities and fighting styles of both athletes as a key ingredient for generating excitement and drawing in a large audience.
The former middleweight champion stated, “It’s got all the marketing. You have two guys who are absolute killers, fan favorites, and they’re both on the come-up.” Bisping went on to explain that the narrative surrounding the fight, coupled with the potential for a thrilling contest, makes it an obvious choice for UFC organizers looking to capitalize on star power.
Pimblett, known for his flamboyant personality and impressive finishes, and Saint Denis, a rising French star with a dangerous striking game, represent two of the most exciting prospects in the lightweight division. Bisping’s endorsement suggests that this bout could be a major draw, generating significant buzz and viewership.
