Arman Tsarukyan has openly criticized Paddy Pimblett, a popular figure in the UFC lightweight division, during a recent episode of the JAXXON PODCAST. Tsarukyan stated, 'Not a good fighter. He is a good dude, but not a good fighter,' emphasizing that while Pimblett has a good heart, he lacks high-level techniques. This critique comes amidst a long-standing rivalry between the two fighters, with Tsarukyan accusing the UFC of protecting Pimblett from tougher opponents. Former UFC champion Michael Bisping defended Pimblett's grappling skills but ultimately conceded that he would bet on Tsarukyan in a grappling matchup. The rivalry intensified further when Pimblett, prior to UFC 324, expressed his willingness to fight Tsarukyan, promising to deliver a thorough beating. Currently, Tsarukyan is coming off a victory over Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar, while Pimblett is recovering from a unanimous decision loss to Justin Gaethje in their interim lightweight title clash.
