Paddy Pimblett explains new nickname for rival Ilia Topuria after backstage bust-up

Paddy Pimblett has nicknamed his rival Ilia Topuria "hand sanitiser boy" after the pair's run-in before UFC London.

UFC star Pimblett and featherweight prospect Topuria are both in the capital for their respective fights this Saturday. The pair, who previously clashed on social media, had a brief altercation at a fighter hotel on Tuesday.

Punches and a hand sanitiser bottle were thrown before the pair were dragged apart. Topuria said his rival "s*** his pants" during the scuffle whilst Pimblett labelled the Georgian's team as a "gang of b****es".
