Properly, okay then.
Ilia Topuria defended his Final Combating Championship (UFC) Featherweight championship in unimaginable vogue at UFC 308 yesterday (Sat., Oct. 26, 2024) when he turned the primary fighter to knock out UFC legend Max Holloway from inside Etihad Enviornment in Abu Dhabi, UAE (watch highlights).
It’s secure to say most fighters have been impressed by Topuria’s unbelievable feat of knocking out Holloway. One fighter who gave him props and instantly dissed the champion by saying he’d win in a combat was Light-weight Paddy Pimblett.
“Hand sanitizer boy with the win,” Pimblett mentioned on his YouTube channel Heavy. Properly carried out, Ilia, offer you your due lad, 16-0 hand sanitizer boy. I can’t look forward to him to come back again as much as Light-weight. I nonetheless suppose I’d beat him. I actually do. I nonetheless suppose I beat him, lad. Whether or not he simply beat Max Holloway or not. I nonetheless suppose I’d beat him by kicking him on the toes or taking him down and submitting him.”
To be truthful to Pimblett, what was he imagined to say? Particularly with the unhealthy blood between the 2.
Whereas Pimblett could have all the religion on this planet that he beats Topuria, the web doesn’t.
Another ideas on “Baddy’s” loopy take have been the next:
Buddy is a particular form of silly
Even he doesn’t seem like he thinks that
Buddy needed to repeat himself 3x. Even he doesnt imagine that shit haha
Bro was getting hit by washed 0-7 Tony lmao
That is the dude that went to choice with 2023 Tony Ferguson
Paddy lad Max is as tall and also you don’t also have a third of his expertise by way of distance administration and takedown protection. Your jits is nice however it isn’t carrying you over Ilia, come on now.
He’d get his block knocked off.
Topuira would do inhumane issues to paddy. Let’s set it up.
As talked about, Topuria and Pimblett don’t like one another and have virtually come to blows a couple of instances. Pimblett threw a hand sanitizer bottle at Topuria in 2022.
As of June 2023, Topuria closed the door on the potential matchup.
Nonetheless, Pimblett is ready for his subsequent combat after dispatching Bobby Inexperienced, whereas Topuria is driving excessive whereas knocking out two Featherweight greats back-to-back.
