Paddy Pimblett went off on Islam Makhachev.
In just a matter of days, Makhachev will look to add his name to the history books when the former lightweight titleholder challenges reigning welterweight king Jack Della Maddalena in the UFC 322 main event at Madison Square Garden.
In May, Makhachev relinquished his lightweight belt after announcing his bid to move up and become a two-division champion. A month later, Ilia Topuria established himself as Makhachev’s successor, handily defeating Charles Oliviera to add the 155-pound crown to his own growing collection of accolades.
