Justin Gaethje, Paddy Pimblett, Ty Miller and Josh Hokit were the first beneficiaries of UFC's new prize money structure put in place following its new $7.7 billion media rights deal with Paramount.

Arman Tsarukyan says Paddy Pimblett was "pushed up the rankings artificially" and his title shot against Justin Gaethje at UFC 324 was "completely undeserved".

Pimblett (23-4) came out second best after five action-packed rounds at the T-Mobile Arena with Gaethje (27-5) adjudged a deserved 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47 winner on the official scorecards.
