A tweet from the handle of MMA Fighting grabbed headlines as it resurfaced Pimblett’s unvarnished statements regarding a UFC Jacksonville contest in which Topuria eventually prevailed. It had a caption that stated, “Paddy Pimblett wasn’t too impressed with Ilia Topuria’s last performance”. The first slide of the post highlighted Pimblett’s spicy statements, which he made regarding the fight between UFC featherweights Ilia Topuria and Josh Emmett.
He said,” I’d love to season of the ultimate fighter with Ilia Topuria, that would be hilarious. Performance of the year? F***ing hell, lad, he couldn’t finish someone who is going to retire soon. You messing, are you? Josh Emmett like 39, isn’t he? If you think that was a great performance, then yeah, but i could finish Josh Emmett in my sleep.”
