Paddy Pimblett Unloads on Arman Tsarukyan After Title Fight Pullout

Paddy Pimblett has once more fired shots at the number one UFC lightweight contender, Arman Tsarukyan.

Tsarukyan and Pimblett have been at odds for some time. Recently, the tension was heightened after the UFC announced an interim title fight between Justin Gaethje and Pimblett in Ilia Topuria’s absence.

Tsarukyan, who has been the number one lightweight contender for more than a year, missed his title opportunity at UFC 311 because of back injury. After the withdrawal, ‘Ahalkalakets’ made weight and was the official backup for UFC 317. Recently, he fought Dan Hooker and won by Round 2 submission.
