Paddy Pimblett rips little b*tch Ilia Topuria for accusing Justin Gaethje of cheat

Paddy Pimblett went off on Ilia Topuria for the way he's handling the Justin Gaethje loss.

Topuria (17-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) accused Gaethje (28-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) of loading his gloves in their lightweight title fight at UFC Freedom 250 in June, where Topuria broke both his orbital bones in a corner stoppage loss. Jon Anik, who said their are internal conversations of a potential Gaethje vs. Topuria rematch, believes "El Matador" is just pushing for another fight.

Meanwhile, Arman Tsarukyan (24-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) potentially emerged as No. 1 contender when he knocked out Mauricio Ruffy (14-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in Saturday's UFC 331 co-main event at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

"With Arman, you could say the title's next," Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. "With all the stuff coming out now with Ilia and Justin, it wouldn't surprise me if they end up fighting and having a rematch. Ilia is trying to say that he had stuff in his gloves, which he definitely never. You know, the commission watch you get your hands wrapped.

"I think Ilia's just being a sore loser, lads, being a little b*tch about it. Obviously, Arman has just put himself forward to be the No. 1 contender, but at the same time, he did only beat ranked (No.) 7. His last win before that was ranked 6, Dan Hooker, who's now ranked around 13. He's lost another two or three fights since then. We'll see what happens. We'll see how everything unfolds."

Pimblett (24-4 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who quickly submitted Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 329, could end up fighting either Topuria or Tsarukyan, depending on who gets the next shot at UFC lightweight champion Gaethje.
