Arman Tsarukyan thinks Paddy Pimblett should take a five-to-six year break before entering the octagon again after his first UFC loss.
Last weekend, Justin Gaethje and Pimblett squared off at UFC 324, with the former earning a unanimous decision victory to take the interim lightweight title. During the 25-minute firefight, Pimblett suffered heavy damage. The Scouser had his face smashed and was dropped several times.
Despite promising to disfigure Gaethje’s face, on fight night it was ‘The Baddy’ who took the punishment.
Tsarukyan, one of the biggest Paddy Pimblett haters out there, was in attendance at UFC 324 and was spotted cheering on Gaethje every time the latter dropped Pimblett.
A few hours ago, ‘Ahalkalakets’ spoke with Ariel Helwani and gave his opinion on the headliner of UFC 324. The Armenian fighter believes that after taking so much damage, Pimblett should take a break. He jokingly noted:
“[Paddy] should take a 5-6 year break after that fight. He fell about 15 times. So bad for his brain. He was stupid, but now he’s going crazy after this fight.”
During the same interview, Arman Tsarukyan labeled Pimblett a “trash king” and the worst UFC fighter.
