Paddy Pimblett poked the jaguar with a short stick. And received the answer. The first place in the lightweight ranking (up to 70,3 kg.), Arman Tsarukyan, went after the Englishman after 'The Buddy' disregarded him as an alternative for his next fight, saying that 'nobody cares' about his tormentor. Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 300.

Veteran argues that Pimblett is the UFC's biggest star and puts the Englishman ahead of Poatan and Topuria
“It was obvious that you were talking nonsense with no intention of backing it up. Your UFC career is built on handouts, hype and shortcuts to the top,” Tsarukyan wrote to Pimblett on his official 'X' profile (formerly Twitter).
The Russian attack occurs after Paddy Pimblett point out Jutin Gaethje as his favorite for a next duel. In a recent interview, the Englishman disregarded Arman's importance to the division.

“I hope to fight in Abu Dhabi in October. I would love to fight against (Ilia Topuria) anyway, but it's crowded, so I think it's more than likely Justin gaethje. Nobody (cares) about Arman Tsarukyan and people really want to see Gaethje fight. People know it’s going to be an exciting fight, me versus Gaethje. Tsarukyan is just a tool, and then it’s me and Gaethje. With a win, I’ll be fighting for the belt,” Pimblett said in an interview with 'BBC Sport'.
The last time that Arman Tsarukyan stepped into the octagon precisely because of the duel with Charles of the Bronx, in history UFC 300. On that occasion, the foreigner won by split decision of the judges after three rounds. The confrontation was a 'title eliminator'. The Russian was then scheduled to fight for the belt with Islam makhachev No. UFC 311, but a back injury took him out of the fight on the eve of the clash.
