The English lightweight revealed the fighters he dislikes the most, and that list starts with a featherweight contender. Ilia Topuria. The beef stems from an altercation that took place ahead of UFC London in March 2022. Due to what happened, Pimblett has adopted a nickname for the 27-year-old Georgian fighter.
“Probably hand sanitizer boy, he’s a sausage! He tried to throw a slap at me when I was on my own, and he was with about 12 of his mates. He tried to throw a slap at me, so I stepped back and threw a hand sanitizer bottle at his head. That’s why I call him hand sanitizer boy. I don’t even know his name. I just know him as hand sanitizer boy.”
Outside of his simmering feud with Topuria, Pimblett also named fellow lightweight Terrance McKinney as another UFC fighter that gets under his skin. Claiming McKinney is obsessed with him.
“I’ve had loads of people talking about me. That little mushroom that goes by the dinosaur name. Whatever his name is, that mushroom, he doesn’t stop talking about me. You can type a name in on someone’s acc, and he’s got about fucking 700 tweets. Terrance McKinney, his nickname is ‘T-Wrex’ and every interview he talks about me. No one knows you, you fucking bum!”
Pimblett comes with a rather spicy response aimed at anybody who takes issue with him:
“Anyone that doesn’t like me can suck my dick!” Pimblett said, throwing up two middle fingers. “If you don’t like me, eat shit, lad. Fuck off. If you don’t like me, fuck off, what are you here for?”
