Paddy Pimblett didn`t hold back when discussing his strong dislike for fellow fighter Ilia Topuria.
“People haven’t seen two guys hate each other this much since the fight between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov,” Pimblett stated, emphasizing the depth of their animosity. “I just hate Ilia. I want to hurt him. I wish our fight lasted until the fourth minute and the 50th second of the fifth round. I would land 907 elbow strikes on him. That’s enough to disfigure a face. I don’t want to knock Topuria out quickly. My goal in the fight with him is to make him experience pain.”
