Dana White’s UFC 324 announcement about Paddy Pimblett hasn’t gone well with many and even made the latter take a dig at Arman Tsarukyan on social media. Paddy would be fighting Justin Gaethje for the interim UFC lightweight in January for the main event of UFC 324. Besides, the bout is all set to headline the first pay-per-view event of the Paramount era. Also, this will eventually decide who will be fighting Ilia Topuria for a future title shot.
The announcement quickly made Paddy take a dig at Arman Tsarukyan. “The Baddy” took to X writing:
“You like apples? @ArmanUFC”
While the debate for who’s deserving of the upcoming lightweight title is ongoing, the comment of Pimblett has grabbed everyone’s attention.
Tsarukyan questioned UFC for not having him in Interim Title fight
Clearly, Tsarukyan didn’t seem happy with the announcement about Paddy for UFC 324, and the latter’s dig has added fuel to the fire. Moreover, this instantly made Arman hit back at the comment of Paddy, as the former posted on X.
“Make it make sense.”
Surely, Arman’s reaction was similar to many fans. Apart from that, Arman had recently won over Dan Hooker at the UFC Qatar, which eventually made him stand as a strong contender. Meanwhile, Paddy too won in UFC 314 over Michael Chandler, making him more visible in the game.
The tiff between the two isn’t new, as they often take digs at each other on social media or in interviews. Moreover, they have been keen to fight Ilia Topuria. Yet, before that Paddy Pimblett vs. Gaethje battle, things had gotten worse between Arman and Paddy.
UFC 324 is all ready to welcome exciting matches, and Paddy seems to have an easy way to the belt now. Though the Gaethje match is still to decide Paddy’s fate, and Arman definitely questions the announcement about them.
