Paddy Pimblett accuses Ilia Topuria of copying UFC legend Conor McGregor's route to UFC title shot
In an interview with SHAK MMA, Paddy Pimblett accused long-time rival Ilia Topuria of copying Conor McGregor. Pimblett and Topuria share bad blood and got into an altercation in London a few years back.
Pimblett believes Topuria lacks the credibility of McGregor and asserted the Spaniard should have defended the featherweight crown a few more times:
"He just wants to be Conor McGregor, but you can’t be Conor McGregor when you’ve got the charisma of a tin of beans, so it’s one of them. I think everyone’s just copied the McGregor route. I just say it’s a lot more when you defend your belt multiple times, like what [Alexander Volkanovski] did. Volk defended his belt about five times or something like that, and then he had the chance to move up to Islam [Makhachev]."
