Paddy Pimblett trashes top lightweight contenders | MMA News

“All I kept getting asked this weekend was,’Who are you fighting? When are you fighting Ilia? When are you fighting Ilia?’ I have no idea,” Pimblett said on his YouTube channel.
Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and Pimblett have historical past. They received into a bodily altercation at the fighter lodge in London during UFC Fight Night 204 struggle week in March 2022. The also two practically got here to blows at the UFC 282 Press Conference later that yr. It’s a struggle both Topuria and Pimblett need but “The Baddy” admits that there are others more deserving of a title shot.
“Hopefully it is going to be me versus the chorizo next. I think that’s what all the Americans want because every American I bumped into keeps saying, ‘When are you going to smash that sausage’s head in?’ I’m hoping that gets sorted. But I understand that I am like rank 9 or something, so other people probably are more deserving, but posh boy (Arman Tsarukyan) definitely isn’t,” Pimblett said.

“As I always say, I’ve got nothing but respect for Justin [Gaethje], but I keep seeing in interviews him saying he doesn’t want to fight me. I think the only fight other than make is me and Ilia,” Pimblett continued.
