​Benoit St. Denis had a rough outing at UFC 329. | 📷: Getty/UFC 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.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.
