“I still hate him and I know he still hates me.”

“I still hate him and I know he still hates me,” Pimblett said of Topuria. “We still don’t love each other, we still want to hit each other“But it’s inside the cage,” he said. The bad guy in an interview with The Independent. The English fighter will next fight January 24 against Justin Gaethje for the interim belt of the lightweight division at UFC 324, a fight that was closed after it was learned that El Matador would be out of the octagon for a few months due to personal reasons.

“Family is different. I would never talk about anyone’s family and I know they wouldn’t talk about mine.. He just doesn’t have that inclination; We’re not shits like Colby Covington. It has nothing to do with our families once we get in there,” Pimblett assured. After this clarification, he returned to the accusation against the Hispanic-Georgian. “I can say anything personal about him. You can call me a blonde slut all you want, and I can call you a sausage midget.. This doesn’t involve families, does it? So everything is fine,” he explained.

Cease the fire

The slight interruption in hostilities between the combatants came after Topuria felt English empathy about his family problems. “He made some mistakes with a tweet he posted about Georgia, but I think we all learn from our mistakes. Ultimately, I notice that he is a person who understands family problems and personal, and he respects them,” the Hispanic-Georgian said in an interview with ESPN.

At UFC 324 Pimblett will have to sell Justin Gaethje so that – finally – his confrontation with the current undisputed lightweight champion materializes. “What’s going to happen in the octagon is something that really excites everyone. At the end of the day, we are professionals and we will have a professional fight,” Topuria assured.
