Sat Mar 08 10:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Adesanya Praises Pimblett’s “Flawless” Victory Ahead of UFC 313 Predictions

**Las Vegas, NV** – UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya offered his predictions for UFC 313, highlighting a past performance that impressed him greatly. While backing Alex Pereira to knockout Magomed Ankalaev in the main event, Adesanya focused on the lightweight clash between Bobby Green and Mauricio Ruffy, a fight he expects to be “f—— crazy.”

Adesanya’s excitement stemmed from a key element of the matchup: Bobby Green’s previous loss to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 304. Adesanya specifically praised Pimblett’s performance, calling it “flawless” and expressing surprise at the ease with which Pimblett secured a victory against a fighter many considered the favorite. He noted that Pimblett “stole the show,” earning a $200,000 bonus.

Pimblett’s impressive win has catapulted him further into the spotlight. He is now set for a high-profile co-main event against Michael Chandler at UFC 314 on April 14th. Pimblett himself has acknowledged the potential for a future clash with Conor McGregor following a victory over Chandler, a fight he described as “the biggest fight in the sport.” Adesanya’s comments serve as further validation of Pimblett’s growing star power within the UFC.
