Paddy Pimblett warns Arman Tsarukyan to 鈥榮it and wait鈥 for a title shot
Arman Tsarukyan may be the #1 ranked contender in the UFC Lightweight division, but Pimblett thinks he needs to do more before getting a title fight.
Pimblett spoke with Helen Yee Sports before UFC 317 and was asked if Tsarukyan would be next in line for a UFC Lightweight title shot.
He warned that the Armenian should 鈥渟it and wait鈥 before predicting that Pimblett himself will get the next title shot if Topuria wins the belt.
鈥淎 couple of months ago, I would have said yeah, but then he started chatting s鈥 about me. So no, the little p鈥- can sit and wait, and go win a fight before he gets a title shot. F鈥 him.鈥 Pimblett said.
鈥淚f Ilia wins, it wouldn鈥檛 surprise me if I end up fighting him next. But we鈥檒l just see what happens.
It鈥檚 not up to me. It鈥檚 up to Dana [White], Hunter [Campbell], and Sean Shelby who fights him next.鈥
