Featherweight Ilia Topuria seems to be done with the Paddy Pimblett rivalry.
After a couple run-ins with the The Baddy, Ilia has finally moved on and is not chasing the fight anymore.
The two first clashed at UFC London Fight Hotel this year where they had a few words, some sanitizer bottles were thrown and some punches.
Talking at the media scrum today ahead of his upcoming fight with Bryce Mitchell at UFC 282, he was asked about Paddy Pimblett and what he thought about being on “Paddys card”
In return Topuria replied,
Topuria, who initiated the conflict with the lightweight Paddy at the Fight Hotel in London over words on Twitter, was then asked a bizarre question if he was worried about crossing paths with Pimblett said,
Topuria who is certain of this continued how he would not be trying to intimidate him stating,
Topuria who fights at 155 and 145 to have more fight opportunities, could be a potential match up for The Baddy.
