The Trash Talk Continues: Arman Tsarukyan's Take on Paddy Pimblett's UFC Loss
In a highly anticipated UFC 324 main event, Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett went head-to-head in a thrilling five-round battle. 'The Highlight' emerged victorious, securing a unanimous decision win. But here's where it gets controversial...
Arman Tsarukyan, a top lightweight contender and a long-time rival of Pimblett, couldn't resist the opportunity to mock his opponent after his first UFC loss. Tsarukyan took to social media, writing, "This clown couldn't beat Gaethje on antibiotics." He further added, "Paddy was given an undeserved title shot, pushed up the rankings artificially. Justin showed true grit, and I respect his willingness to face me."
Tsarukyan's comments sparked a heated debate among fans. The mention of antibiotics refers to a rumored staph infection Gaethje was speculated to have, which became a hot topic among fight enthusiasts. Gaethje himself shut down questions about his health just days before the fight.
And this is the part most people miss... Tsarukyan continued his criticism of Pimblett when speaking to Megan Olivi backstage. He called Pimblett a "trash can," claiming, "He's not a top fighter. Gaethje wouldn't have gone easy on me or Ilia [Topuria]. I'd have choked him out. Paddy has no chin, and his cardio is weak."
