Rising UFC Lightweight Prospect Paddy Pimblett Calls Out Rivals
UFC lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett has made headlines once again, this time for calling out two fellow fighters in the division. Pimblett, who has quickly risen to prominence since joining the UFC in 2021, expressed his disdain for Ilia Topuria and Terrance McKinney.
In a recent appearance on the Happy Endings podcast, Pimblett didn’t hold back when asked about the fighters he dislikes the most. He first targeted Ilia Topuria, citing an altercation between the two at a fighter hotel in March 2022. Pimblett referred to Topuria as ‘hand sanitizer boy’ and described him as a ‘sausage’ and a ‘little mushroom.’ He also recounted throwing a hand sanitizer bottle at Topuria’s head during the incident.
Pimblett then turned his attention to Terrance McKinney, who has frequently mentioned him on social media. Pimblett referred to McKinney as a ‘little mushroom’ and a ‘f*cking bum,’ questioning his relevance in the sport.
While a grudge match with Topuria seems unlikely due to their weight class difference, the possibility of Pimblett facing McKinney in the Octagon remains. Both fighters compete in the lightweight division and are currently unranked.
Pimblett’s outspoken nature and willingness to call out his rivals have made him a polarizing figure in the UFC. Fans and pundits continue to closely follow his career as he looks to make his mark in the lightweight division .
