Fans Root for Ilia Topuria vs Paddy Pimblett Face-Off following ‘Sore Loser’ Comments
Fans want Paddy Pimblett to face Ilia Topuria after the former called the Spanish fighter a “sore loser.”
Ilia Topuria initially wanted to have a comeback fight against the champion, Justin Gaethje. However, with Arman Tsarukyan defeating Mauricio Ruffy in an emphatic manner, the equation seems to have changed drastically. While there are high chances of Tsarukyan being given the opportunity for the championship, fans now want ‘El Matador’ to face Paddy Pimblett.
One fan said, “They should fight already. Gaethje vs Arman and Topuria vs Pimblett are the fights to make.”
Another fan stated, “Pimblett v Topuria. Arman v Gaethje. That's the only way to level this out.”
A third commented, “Ilia cannot fight Justin again without fighting Paddy first.”
Fans of Topuria wrote, “Cant wait to see ilia separate this clown from consciousness.”
A user quipped, “UFC has to make this fight between them before this year ends lol.”
A fan chimed in saying, “i don’t think justin cheated either but i do have a genuine question: who’s the athletic commission in DC? do they have their own athletic commission?”
What did Paddy Pimblett tell Ilia Topuria?
Topuria came up with a serious allegation against Gaethje recently. Following his loss, the Spanish fighter accused the current UFC champion of cheating. Topuria recently claimed that Gaethje’s gloves needed to be checked properly ahead of his bouts. Reacting to the claim, ‘Baddy’ stated that the commission oversees all the procedures strictly ahead of the fight.
Pimblett stated, “The commission watches you get your hands wrapped. I think Ilia’s just being a sore loser. He’s being a little b*tch about it.”
With the heat getting turned on, it now remains to be seen what’s next.
