The UFC lightweight division has a new rivalry for fans to keep their eyes on.
Newly crowned lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and Paddy Pimblett clearly do not like each other. At all.
The rivalry between the two began online that then led to an altercation at the fighter hotel in London at UFC Fight Night 304 in March 2022.
Later in 2022, the two fighters almost came to blows at a UFC 282 press conference.
Following UFC 317, Pimblett entered the cage to challenge Topuria on the spot. Their ‘face-off’ ended with Topuria shoving Pimblett.
