Now they have an official poster.
The UFC 324 poster should remind you to pay your taxes, thanks to the TurboTax sponsorship against the red and blue hue that resembles police lights. Not to be overly judgmental about the marketing department’s efforts on this one, but it feels like the promotion could have done something with a little more pizazz, considering the magnitude of the event.
I guess we’ll leave the fireworks to Pimblett.
“I’ve never had a war in all my years of fighting, so I’m looking forward to that,“ Pimblett told Sky Sports. ”Always want one. People are laughing at me when I’m saying I want to stand with him, but I am. People think that I’m just gonna shoot in the first 10 seconds. I’m not. I’m gonna stand with him and I’m gonna put it on him and people are gonna be like, ‘Wow, you weren’t lying.‘ He’s more of a boxer with leg kicks and I’m an MMA striker. I don’t do just do boxing, or Thai box, or kickboxing, or taekwondo, or karate, I’m an MMA striker. You’ll see it when I fight him.“
“Justin Gaethje, he’s never in a boring fight,” Pimblett added. “So me and him are gonna be a perfect main event to start off the new Paramount era. I can’t wait for it. I mean, I can’t genuinely cannot wait. I’m just sitting here having visions of different ways that I want to finish him. I’m still the UFC world champion when I win [the interim title]. I don’t know what’s happening with Ilia [Topuria]. I don’t know, he might end up vacating. I could end up being like Tom Aspinall and getting promoted as being undisputed champion anyway, but for now while Ilia’s out the cage, I am the UFC lightweight world champion.”
