Paddy Pimblett: 'I'm gonna absolutely rinse' Topuria and Tsarukyan's lives

Paddy Pimblett would not hold back in potential fights against Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan.

Paddy Pimblett, known for his sharp tongue and impressive MMA record, has expressed his intention to "absolutely rinse" the lives of potential opponents Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan. The 24-4 MMA fighter, who recently submitted Benoit Saint Denis in just 52 seconds at UFC 329, is seeking a high-profile matchup after his recent victory.

While Pimblett is known for his entertaining commentary and charisma, he firmly stated that he would never fabricate any beef or conflicts, unlike some of his rivals who did so for their title fights.

When discussing his potential fights with Topuria, who has a 17-1 MMA record and is a former lightweight champion, and Tsarukyan, a 23-3 MMA fighter with a 10-2 UFC record, Pimblett did not hold back. He threatened to "terrify" both of them, calling them "helmet" and a "rich kid whose daddy's a millionaire." Pimblett showed respect for fighters like Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, but does not have the same regard for Topuria and Tsarukyan, citing their privileged backgrounds and lack of respect.

Topuria is set to face Justin Gaethje for the lightweight title in June, while Tsarukyan will be competing in the co-main event of UFC 331 on September 19.
