This outcome certainly invited a lot of controversy. Despite having a victorious evening himself, the Pimblett decision left him disheartened. Ilia Topuria showcased an excellent performance of his fighting prowess in his battle with Bryce Mitchell. The 25-year-old dispatched Mitchell with an arm triangle choke and sustained his ‘undefeated’ title successfully.

However, the things are already tense between Paddy Pimblett and Ilea Topuria following their brawl a couple of days back. It seems we have a new arch rivalry in the UFC now.

Pimblett claims Topuria is obsessed with him

Ilea Topuria recently engaged in a brawl with Paddy Pimblett at a hotel a few months ago. And since, the two have exchanged quite a few insults with each other on various occasions. When Pimblett was doing an interview prior to his fight, he took shots at Topuria, claiming that the latter was ‘obsessed’ with him.

“He’s obsessed with me, isn’t he? Like, he uses me to stay in the public eye because no one cares about his life, you know what I mean? No one cares about his existence, so he uses my fame, my publicity, and tries to feed off it.” Pimblett stated. He further added that he lives ‘rent-free’ in Topuria‘s head, “He got asked a question about his opponent Bryce [Mitchell] and then finished it off by talking about me. It shows how much I’m in his head, rent free.”

Nevertheless, as of now, the current situation favors against ‘The Baddy’ despite his victory. There is also a potential for a fresh rivalry that might one day spill over into the octagon.
