During the UFC 314 Post-Fight Press Conference, Pimblett was requested concerning the backstage altercation with ‘Chaos.’
“Mr. Irrelevant trying to stay relevant. The f*cking whooper,” Pimblett mentioned. “He just come over and started talking sh*t because he seen there was a camera. He come over and started to say, ‘You fight scrubs.’ He said something about Chandler being 2-4 or something. Isn’t he (Covington) 2-4 in his last six? Something like that.
“He’s an absolute bum, lad. He’s almost 40. He’s making an attempt to remain related by leaping on me whereas there’s a digicam there. Well, not leaping on me, simply speaking sh*t. I noticed him at Power Slap the opposite week. I walked previous him looking at him. He simply regarded on the flooring just like the little p***y boy that he’s. When there’s a digicam there he tries to say one thing.”
