UFC lightweight contender, Paddy Pimblett has shot the idea of a future rekindling with mixed martial arts journalist, Ariel Helwani, claiming the Canadian reporter “tried to ruin” his career in the build up to his UFC 282 fight with Jared Gordon last December.
Pimblett, yet to crack the top-15 of the official lightweight rankings under the promotion’s banner, most recently featured in the co-main event of UFC 282 back in December of last year, landing a close, debated decision win over the above-mentioned, Gordon.
However, in the lead-up to the co-headlining slot, Pimblett and Canadian mixed martial arts journalist, Helwani were embroiled in a heated spat, with Pimblett claiming that the latter had attempted to use fighters to earn money and revenue for himself in the form of non-paid interviews.
