“Budget beatles haircut” – Paddy Pimblett called out for attacking Arman Tsarukyan’s family wealth

Paddy Pimblett has quickly risen as a promising UFC star, known for his charisma, bold attitude, and entertaining fight style. His outspoken personality often draws attention, fueling heated rivalries and making headlines both inside and outside the octagon regularly. Recently, his feud with elite lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has intensified, turning into a bitter and very public dispute.

In a recent interview, Pimblett called Tsarukyan a “little posh boy” who only got his UFC chance through his father’s wealth. According to the Scouser, Tsarukyan is a “pu*** boy” who withdrew from the UFC 311 main event at the very last moment. In response, the Armenian fighter fired back on X, mocking Pimblett’s appearance, and overall credibility as a lightweight. 

Pimblett has often faced accusations of UFC favoritism, especially after his controversial win over Jared Gordon. Critics said the UFC protected him due to his charisma and marketability, and Dana White‘s praises have also fueled claims. However, Pimblett has denied special treatment, calling himself just another rising contender, refuting Tsarukyan’s comments.

Tsarukyan withdrew from UFC 311’s main event due to a severe back injury suffered during his intense weight cut. The injury was not training-related but occurred suddenly, causing debilitating spasms that left him unable to walk or perform. Criticism arose online, especially after a video with Nina Marie showed him training days before pulling out of the fight.

Tsarukyan defended the situation, stating the workout was light and unrelated to his condition, and he aimed to return stronger. However, the damage was done and completely lost his title shot. Pimblett is currently on his path to get himself a title opportunity and is ready to fight the likes of Tsarukyan. However, the Armenian isn’t the only one on Baddy’s radar. 

Paddy Pimblett’s pathway to UFC title 

Paddy Pimblett rose quickly in the UFC with exciting finishes and personality that made him a fan-favorite across the world. He now faces Michael Chandler at UFC 314, a dangerous veteran who poses his toughest test inside the octagon so far. Pimblett has predicted an early finish, confident in his skills and timing that could expose weaknesses in Chandler’s aggressive and high-pressure fighting style.

Going into the fight, the hype around it is massive and Pimblett is definitely the fan-favorite given his momentum. The UK fighter is already looking past the ‘Iron’ and is eyeing over a potential title eliminator. He has also targeted Ilia Topuria for a future lightweight clash, aiming to settle their heated rivalry once and for all. 

Pimblett and Topuria’s rivalry ignited backstage, sparked by trash talk and national pride, escalating tensions between them instantly. Their heated altercation in London included thrown bottles and insults, with Topuria furious over Paddy’s controversial comments about Georgians. 

Though they haven’t fought yet, fans eagerly anticipate the showdown, as their dislike for each other remains raw and personal. Both undefeated in the UFC, and their potential clash promises fireworks, with pride, ego, and rankings all on the line.
