Paddy Pimblett Targets Ilia Topuria or Arman Tsarukyan for Next Fight

Paddy Pimblett is preparing for his next fight in the Octagon after achieving a quick submission victory over Benoit Saint-Denis in just 52 seconds. The fighter from Liverpool has expressed a preference to face rivals Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan, despite acknowledging the skills of veterans like Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira.

Pimblett has openly criticized both Topuria and Tsarukyan, citing a long-standing feud with Topuria and expressing a lack of respect for Tsarukyan, whom he described as privileged. However, neither fighter is available for an immediate bout; Topuria is recovering from a recent loss to Justin Gaethje, while Tsarukyan is scheduled to compete against Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 on September 19.
