UFC lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett has exploded on Arman Tsarukyan for withdrawing from the Islam Makhachev title fight. After his impressive performance against King Green, 'The Baddy' is scheduled to lock horns with Michael Chandler at UFC 314 on Saturday.
The Armenian fighter withdrew from his title fight at UFC 311 after he suffered a back injury due to a weight cut. Tsarukyan was replaced by Renato Moicano, who stepped in on short notice. The No.12-ranked lightweight also touched on Tsarukyan supposedly avoiding the fight, despite doctors deeming him fit to continue.
In the latest installment of the Full Send Podcast, Pimblett said:
"He’s just a little posh boy who’s had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He’s a little b**** a*s. Dana shot him down in that interview."

Arman Tsarukyan responds to Paddy Pimblett's remarks
Arman Tsarukyan was quick to respond to Paddy Pimblett's remarks about him on the Full Send Podcast.
'Ahalkalakets' claimed that the Englishman had the easiest path to success in the UFC due to his British accent. The No.1-ranked lightweight contender also demanded 'The Baddy' call him out after his potential victory against Michael Chandler at UFC 314. On X, he wrote:
"Says the guy who got the easiest path to the top in UFC just because he’s got a funny accent and budget beatles haircut. I dare you to call me out if you win and we will see who will s*** his pants in the octagon when we meet clown @PaddyTheBaddy."
