Tsarukyan is the No. 1 contender at lightweight, but he is not fighting for the interim title. Instead, Pimblett will face Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 324 on January 24.
Even though Tsarukyan is the No. 1 contender, Pimblett said there’s a big reason he’s not getting a title shot, and that’s because he’s boring.
“By staring down at the weigh-in he headbutts Hooker and almost ruins another main event,” says Pimblett said to CoinPoker. “He’s had everything handed to him his whole life. He has no control over his emotions. Why would you headbutt someone at a weigh-in? It shows what an idiot he is. And he almost ruined another major event. And if he had cut Dan Hooker there, the fight would have been over.”
“And now he’s whining, why don’t I have the title shots? It’s because you can’t trust with it, boy. You’re a liability. You think because your family has money, boy, you can get away with doing whatever you want. You can’t. So he gotta shut up and remember his damn place. Nobody wants to see him fight. He’s an absolute nit. He’s boring to watch. Charles Olivera doesn’t have boring fights, and Arman Tsarukyan made a fight with him boring.
Pimblett believes the UFC does not want Tsarukyan in title fights and that this is the right thing to do.
Paddy Pimblett shoots Arman Tsarukyan
Not only does Pimblett think it’s fine that Tsarukyam doesn’t get the title shot, but he’s also not a fan of the contender.
Pimblett believes Tsarukyan won’t do anything to him personally as he’s all talk and can’t back it up.
Arman can sit with him, eating caviar for breakfast, while bawling his eyes out. I don’t give a fuck. He is nobody. He can wait and wait another year. He may be number one in the rankings, but he can eat something. He’s a boring bastard. And then he tries to talk about me to stay relevant. And it’s funny, he said in the interview, when I see Paddy I want to punch him. Boy, you saw me in Qatar last week.
“You never did anything. I jumped in the back of one of your pictures, you had the big team photo and I was walking by in the background, you know what I mean? I won’t do anything, boy. He wants to act big and act like it, but if he tries to hit me, he’ll be knocked out. He’ll charge into the attack because that’s all he can do. He’s all talk. He’s all mouthy, no action. He’s an absolute sausage.”
Pimblett is 23-3 as a pro and is coming off a dominant win over Michael Chandler.
