“So Bad for His Brain”: Paddy Pimblett Urged to Take 5–6 Year Break After Being Dropped Repeatedly at UFC 324
Arman Tsarukyan thinks Paddy Pimblett needs to take a 5-6 year break before entering the octagon again, following his first UFC loss.
This past weekend, Justin Gaethje and Pimblett locked horns at UFC 324, with the former securing a unanimous decision win to grab the interim lightweight title. The 25-minute firefight saw Pimblett take heavy damage. The Scouser got his face pieced up and was dropped multiple times.
Despite vowing to disfigure Gaethje’s face, on fight night, it was ‘The Baddy’ who absorbed the punishment.
Tsarukyan, who is one of the biggest Paddy Pimblett haters out there, was in attendance for UFC 324 and was spotted cheering for Gaethje every time the latter dropped Pimblett.
A few hours back, ‘Ahalkalakets’ spoke to Ariel Helwani and gave his thoughts on the UFC 324 headliner. The Armenian fighter thinks Pimblett, after absorbing so much damage, should go on a hiatus. He jokingly remarked:
“[Paddy] needs to take a break for 5-6 years after that fight. He got dropped like 15 times. So bad for his brain. He was stupid, but now he’s gonna be crazy after this fight.”
During the same interview, Arman Tsarukyan labelled Pimblett as a “trash king” and the worst UFC fighter.
