His recent record is better, which should give him the confidence to go on and win.</p> <p>For additional betting value, we like the odds offered in the<strong> 'Paddy Pimblett by Submission'</strong>, as he has won seven of his fights in this way. Gaethje has lost twice by submission in his career.</p> <p>By extension, we think the<strong> 'No'</strong> regarding <strong>the fight going the distance</strong> is also worth a punt, as this hasn't happened for Gaethje over five rounds in his last 10.
