Paddy Pimblett is causing quite a stir in the lightweight division, and with a win over Michael Chandler at UFC 314, he may already have his next opponent lined up.
This coming Saturday at UFC 314, Paddy Pimblett takes on his toughest test thus far when he takes on former lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler.
Before he signed with the UFC, ‘The Baddy’ had already made a big name for himself, even turning down a UFC contract on several occasions to continue building his name.
Despite ‘Iron’ Mike being undoubtedly his toughest opponent yet, Pimblett is being backed to eventually become UFC champion, with his title run starting in Miami this Saturday.
Pimblett sparks new feud with Arman Tsarukyan days out from UFC 314
Just days out from his clash against the veteran, ‘The Baddy’ has seemingly sparked a new feud with lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan.
Tsarukyan missed out on the lightweight title shot after he withdrew from his scheduled title fight against Islam Makhachev at UFC 311.
Following his shock withdrawal just a day out from their fight, Dana White revealed that Tsarukyan wouldn’t get a title shot again and would have to go back to the drawing board and pick up a few more wins.
And with that, Pimblett has slammed ‘Ahalkalakets’, claiming that he ‘S— his pants’ and pulled out from his fight prematurely.
“The only fighter in the top 10 that’s under 35 (years old) that I can think of is Arman Tsarukyan, and he’s just a little posh boy who’s had everything handed to him on a silver platter by his dad,” Pimblett began to explain on the Full Send Podcast.
“No, (he didn’t actually get injured), he’s just a little b—- arse, that’s what you are Arman, a little b—- boy. He was doing them videos where he flips forward on his neck, and then he’s saying that he’s got a bad back.
“Dana shot him down, that’s heavy that, you don’t want the boss saying that about you… Basically, Arman, you s— your pants, you farted and followed through and had s— coming down your leg,” Pimblett continued.
Tsarukyan responds as Pimblett attempts to spark new feud
This isn’t the first time the Brit has attempted to begin a rivalry with a big name in the promotion, as he and Ilia Topuria have somewhat of a rivalry still brewing.
However, with the Armenian likely needing at least one more win before he is considered for another title shot, he is leaning into this recently sparked feud as he believes Pimblett would be an easy fight for him.
“Says the guy who got the easiest path to the top in the UFC just because he’s got a funny accent and a budget Beatles haircut. I dare you to call me out if you win, and we will see who will s— his pants in the Octagon when we meet, clown,” Tsarukyan said in a post on X.
