Paddy Pimblett almost came to blows with rival Ilia Topuria at the UFC 282 press conference on Thursday as tensions between the two fighters boiled over.
'The Baddy' is in action this weekend when he takes on Jared Gordon in the co-main event of the card in Las Vegas but has developed a rivalry with fellow lightweight Topuria after the two got into an altercation at UFC London in March, when Pimblett threw a bottle of hand sanitizer at the unbeaten fighter.
The two have yet to be booked in a fight but Topuria takes on Bryce Mitchell in the main card opener at UFC 282. But rather than focus on his upcoming opponent, Topuria has spent much of the week goading Pimblett.
