Paddy Pimblett Snubs Arman Tsarukyan Fight
Pimblett has made it clear he isn’t interested in fighting Tsarukyan and is aiming for a bout against Justin Gaethje in October, possibly in Abu Dhabi. He believes fans are more excited to see him face Gaethje than Tsarukyan. Pimblett also questioned Tsarukyan’s abilities and said a win over Gaethje would put him close to a title shot.
Tsarukyan responded online, calling out Pimblett for making empty statements. He accused the English fighter of advancing his UFC career through hype and shortcuts rather than hard work. Indeed, the Armenian fighter needs to win another big fight to get a chance at the title. It will be exciting to see who he fights next. Every fight from now on is crucial for him to prove he deserves a shot at the belt.
