Ilia Topuria thinks Paddy Pimblett will do all he can to avoid fighting him.<\/p>\n

Topuria and Pimblett were both featured on the UFC London card in separate bouts. Topuria went to battle with Jai Herbert, while Pimblett took on Kazula Vargas. Both men emerged victorious with Topuria knocking out Herbert and Paddy submitting Vargas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahead of fight night, Ilia Topuria and Paddy Pimblett got into an altercation<\/a> inside a fighter hotel. “The Baddy” threw hand sanitizer at Topuria, who responded by throwing punches.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters following his win over Herbert, Topuria said he doesn’t expect Paddy to fight him unless he’s forced to do so (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cNever. Never ever, I don\u2019t think so. Maybe if Dana stayed with him with a gun, maybe yes, and they force him to go inside the cage with me. Maybe. Otherwise, I don\u2019t think so. I don\u2019t think he has the balls to fight me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Clearly, things have gotten personal and Topuria said he’ll fight Pimblett in any weight class.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Paddy, I don\u2019t give a f*** about any weight class. Even if he wants to come and don\u2019t make the weight, I\u2019m gonna fight him. I don\u2019t care about the weight with Paddy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Topuria claims that the beef with Paddy stems from an argument “The Baddy” had with one of his friends on social media. Topuria said he was heated when Pimblett allegedly told Guram Kutateladze that “Russia destroyed Georgia because you are dumps.”<\/p>\n

Paddy claims he made Topuria “sh*t himself” during their exchange in the fighter hotel. He told Robbie Fox that if Topuria really wanted to do something to him, he would’ve done so during their altercation.<\/p>\n

Now that both men are coming off victories, it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll be matched up in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
