“First time in a long time that I really worried about my own safety, even though I knew how to take care of myself! It's different when there are groups of 30 men running around wielding machetes, robbing people and beating up harmless elderly people,” Pimblett wrote on social media.

Sharing a video of a fan being attacked and robbed by a large group of men, Pimblett stated that the fans were not to blame for what happened and pointed to older men as the main victims of the violence.

Fortunately we stayed grouped together and they didn't come close to us. They chose only old, alone and vulnerable men,” he wrote.
