The popular Paddy Pimblett has simply declared war on three of the top names in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg). This Saturday (24), in Las Vegas (USA), the Englishman faces Justin Gaethje in the main fight of UFC 324, could become interim champion and has already had a heated discussion with him. However, 'The Baddy' goes further and doesn't forget Arman Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria.
Determined to intensify the rivalry with the pair, Pimblett made the atmosphere even more tense. When questioned by journalists about his rivals, the Englishman, brimming with confidence that he has what it takes to beat them, mocked them both.
It's worth highlighting that the animosity between 'The Baddy', Topuria, and Tsarukyan is longstanding, and the trash talk includes challenges, provocations, insults, and even threats. In fact, Paddy and the Georgian, the category champion, even fought backstage at UFC London (UK) in 2022.

“F*** Tsarukyan. He won’t stop talking about me. He needs to get his head on straight and stop talking shit about me. He’s trying to be like me. He’s walking around, eating, because he has no personality and he’s an idiot,” the athlete said at the pre-UFC 324 press conference.
"Happy Birthday, Topuria. I hope everything went well for you, son. Be ready, you little sausage," he concluded.
