The feud between Pimblett and Topuria began in April 2021, when the Englishman was arriving in the UFC and was challenged by Guram Kutateladze. The promise stated that 'Georgians were stupid' and that he understood Russian attacks, alluding to the war dispute between Russia and Georgia, which took place in 2008. At the time, numerous fighters in the country repudiated the comment.
Reinforcing the attack, Topuria published a threatening message to Pimblett on Twitter. The Georgian, who is scheduled to face Jai Herbert on the preliminary card, he said that the Englishman 'was lucky' that other people broke up the fight.
"I warned you! This is what happens when you disrespect me and my country! You saw me and wanted to congratulate me because you shit your pants... and you should thank my team because if it weren't for them separating me, I would have ripped your head off. This isn’t Twitter, it’s real life,” wrote Ilia.
Paddy was quick and tried to respond, on the same platform, to Topuria. According to him, although the Georgian was walking with six other people, he was unable to hurt him. Pointed out by many as the 'New McGregor', the athlete faces Rodrigo vargas In the event.
“6 against 1 and you didn't do anything, Topuria. Gang of f***ers,” Pimblett responded.
