Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Benoit St.
Denis has released a statement addressing his loss to Paddy
Pimblett.

St. Denis was the betting favorite going into his lightweight
matchup against Pimblett in the co-main event of
UFC 329 in Las Vegas, as he was coming off a four-fight finish
streak while his English counterpart was fresh off his first defeat
in the UFC. However, „The Baddy“ took just 52 seconds to put the
Frenchman to sleep and end his win streak.

Benoit St. Denis reflects on his UFC 329 loss and promises a
stronger return

St. Denis apologized to his fans for letting them down after UFC
329. While he admits that the loss is hard to digest, „God of War“
vows to bounce back stronger. He also hopes to avenge his loss to
Pimblett someday.

“Thank you all for your support. I’m sorry for letting you down and
for not delivering the victory we had hoped for,” St. Denis wrote
on X. “This defeat is brutal and hard to swallow, but it’s part of
the journey. I learn through trials, I’ll draw every lesson from
it, I’ll keep working hard, and I’ll come back stronger.
Congratulations to Paddy for his performance. I’m convinced that
one day, our paths will cross again. See you soon, BSD.”

Pimblett (24-4) even accurately predicted that he would choke out
St. Denis (17-4) if the latter shot in for a takedown. Furthermore,
fans and pundits have criticized the latter’s game plan, especially
considering how dry fighters are in the very first frame in
contrast to later rounds, when perspiration makes submission
escapes easier.
