Paddy
\nPimblett<\/a> plans to get on Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a>\u2019s nerves if they share another press conference in the
\n
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pimblett (24-4) and Topuria (17-1) had a heated altercation at a
\nLondon hotel in 2022. The Brit threw a bottle of hand sanitizer at
\nTopuria before security intervened. Pimblett says he still has the
\nbottle, which he has signed and put on display at his gym.<\/p>\n

Paddy Pimblett says he kept the hand sanitizer bottle he threw
\nat Ilia Topuria during their London hotel confrontation<\/h2>\n

Pimblett wants to bring the bottle to a press conference if the two
\nare matched up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope [Ilia is next], I hate him,\u201d Pimblett told Jeremy Piven.
\n\u201cHe got a push because of the stuff with me. He got pushed fast
\nthrough the rankings because of it. No one knew who he was. I\u2019ve
\nalways got that exact bottle of hand sanitizer that I threw at his
\nhead\u2026 I\u2019ve signed it and now it\u2019s just sat in the gym. So, if I do
\never fight him and have a press conference with him, that will be
\ncoming with me. And I\u2019ll just sit it on the desk. It\u2019ll be quite
\nfunny.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rivalry began during an online spat between Pimblett and
\nTopuria\u2019s friend and fellow Georgian, Guram
\nKutateladze<\/a>. Topuria took issue with comments \u201cThe Baddy\u201d made
\nabout Georgia and the Russo-Georgian war.<\/p>\n

Pimblett lost to Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> in an interim lightweight title bout earlier this year
\nbefore rebounding with a 52-second submission win over Beno\u00eet
\nSaint Denis<\/a>. Gaethje handed Topuria his first professional loss
\nto win the undisputed lightweight title at
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a>.<\/p>\n
