Paddy Pimblett reveled in Ilia Topuria‘s UFC Freedom 250 loss.
Topuria (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) was battered in a Round 4 TKO doctor’s stoppage loss to Justin Gaethje (28-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) in Saturday’s main event at the White House in Washington. He lost his lightweight belt and suffered his first-career loss in a big upset setback.
Topuria and Pimblett (23-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) have been trading barbs for years, stemming from an altercation at the fighter hotel in London in March 2022. Their paths never crossed after Pimblett lost a five-round unanimous decision to Gaethje for the interim title at UFC 324 in January.
Pimblett went off on Topuria after the fight was waved off at the end of Round 4.
“The only thing you had to do was beat a 38 year old coming off of a 5 round war with me… instead you quit on your stool like the little b*tch you are. I’m a real fighter and went 5 rounds your a little pretender chorizo! Congratulation @Justin_Gaethje rematch for undisputed?”

Before thinking of a rematch with Gaethje, Pimblett has to get past Benoit Saint Denis (17-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in the UFC 329 co-main event on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Paramount+).
