Paddy Pimblett would love to coach ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ with Ilia Topuria: ‘That would be hilarious’

LONDON – Paddy Pimblett wants to spend eight weeks with Ilia Topuria to film “The Ultimate Fighter.”

Pimblett and Topuria have traded barbs in the past and got into a hotel altercation last July in London. They also went back-and-forth during the UFC 282 press conference. The pair has shared two cards, but never has been matched up together.

When asked what could be next for him, Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) said he’d fancy coaching the next season of “TUF” opposite side Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).
