Paddy Pimblett has said a return fight in the United Kingdom is unlikely unless it takes place at Liverpool’s Anfield stadium, ahead of his interim lightweight title showdown with Justin Gaethje at UFC 324.

The comments come as Pimblett prepares to take on Justin Gaethje for the interim UFC lightweight belt at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on January 24. The bout headlines UFC 324 and represents the biggest fight of Pimblett’s career to date.

“I think the odds are going lower and lower,” Pimblett said on the prospects of returning to fight in the United Kingdom, according to Sky Sports. “It would be a shame, obviously but I don’t think anywhere is big enough, unless they come to Anfield — that’s the dream.”

Pimblett added that he has discussed the possibility with Liverpool club officials and that they “would be happy to do it,” but he said that event logistics are ultimately a matter for the UFC. Asked about his future goals, Pimblett said he wants “at least another seven or eight fights in the UFC.” He said that winning Saturday’s interim belt and then securing an undisputed title would be how people would “start remembering” him.

“That’s what we’re in this game for,” he added. “You want to become champ and defend it, and hopefully that’s what happens.”
