With a potential big grudge match looking, Paddy Pimblett looks back on the origin with his beef with Ilia Topuria.

Paddy Pimblett has shared his side of the story when it comes to the origins of his beef with UFC Lightweight Champion Ilia Topuria.

“He’s a very good all-round fighter—I respect him as a fighter, and he doesn’t respect me,” Pimblett said during an appearance on Verse Us with Eric Nicksick. “I genuinely think if he fought me, he wouldn’t train as hard. He just thinks he’d beat me. But I’d kick him everywhere”
