The meat between Arman Tsarukyan and Paddy Pimblett rages on.
For fairly a while now, the 2 light-weight contenders have been beefing, and that animosity has solely gathered new steam previously month. At UFC Qatar, Arman Tsarukyan dominated Dan Hooker to, ostensibly, set himself up as the highest contender at light-weight.
Nonetheless, just some days after that victory, the UFC introduced that Pimblett will face Justin Gaethje in an interim light-weight title combat at UFC 324 in January, as soon as once more leaving Tsarukyan out within the chilly. Pimblett appears to have taken nice pleasure within the alternative, outlining precisely why he jumped over Tsarukyan.
“Folks discuss my final three wins, and yeah, Tony Ferguson was his approach out, however Dariush appears to be like about 65,” Pimblett instructed Full Ship MMA. “He’s obtained a full head of gray hair, he beat Dariush. He didn’t beat Charles Oliveira; lots of people didn’t suppose he received that combat. On his approach out of the cage, he punched a fan, obtained banned. The UFC in all probability needed to pay an enormous f*cking payment for the fella to not sue them.
“He then obtained his title shot and ‘Oh, I’ve obtained a nasty again!’ He f*cking obtained beat by again ache when actually he in all probability simply couldn’t make weight. Sits out for f*cking 11 months, will get supplied a combat towards Gamrot and says no. If I obtained supplied a combat towards somebody who has crushed me, I’d be taking that combat instantly. Then, fights Dan Hooker, headbutts him on the weigh-in, practically ruined one other primary occasion. You possibly can perceive why he’s not in that place.
“And as a lot as I like Dan Hooker, he’s shit. He can’t grapple to avoid wasting his life. He couldn’t grapple if hs mother’s life relied on it. If I had that guillotine wrapped up on Arman, he’s going unconscious. If Dan Hooker is sort of guillotining you, you’re shit at jits.”
After all, that merited a response from Tsarukyan, who fired again at Pimblett on social media with a dire warning for “The Baddy” ought to they ever combat.
“I might discuss the way you solely combat senior residents annually, or how the UFC retains providing you with the simple street to that paper belt. However I’ll say only one factor: for those who ever discover the braveness to step into the octagon with me, there’s just one end result, the one you concern essentially the most, the place everybody lastly sees you’re a fraud.
“You possibly can hold working your mouth. Simply be sure you’re not the one shitting your pants in January.
“Like I mentioned, the one factor that issues is when the octagon door closes. I’ll be the one strolling out with my hand raised and also you’ll be the one getting helped out of the cage.”
