Paddy Pimblett recently fired shots at Khamzat Chimaev, labeling the undefeated UFC star a ‘piece of sh*t’.
‘The Baddy’ has amassed a cult following in the sport and has a real ‘love him or hate him’ personality. One thing the scouser isn’t afraid of is speaking his mind, and he did just that when referring to the recent controversies surrounding ‘Borz’.
During a recent interview, Paddy Pimblett bashed Khamzat Chimaev for his involvement in a crypto scam that stole money from his fans.
“Oh yeah, he’s a piece of sh*t,” Pimblett said in an interview with Best Online Poker Sites. “I met Khamzat in person and he was very nice. But, the stuff that I’ve read that he’s done there is wrong.”
“You can’t be doing that to your fans. That’s crazy. If he actually has done that where he’s made a fake coin and scammed so much money out of people, and then just pulled the rug under it and deleted all his posts about it on social media.”
“People have got receipts, people have got screenshots, so you can’t escape that. It’s wrong.”
Pimblett later detailed a story of him being compared to Chimaev, but not in a positive way.
“I mean, actually it’s funny. Someone actually compared Khamzat to me the other day, like, ‘F***ing hell, Khamzat fell off like Paddy The Baddy, sort of like that!”
The Brit then turned his attention to his time in the UFC. With a win over ‘King’ Green, Pimblett has a several-fight plan toward the title.
“Well, after this I want Renato Moicano. Me and Moicano have had a little back and forth. People love to mention my name, they know they’ll get some followers off it.”
“Beneil Dariush, maybe even him after my next fight. Then someone in the top four or five like [Mateusz] Gamrot or [Dustin] Poirier.”

“I think a lot of people would like to see me fight Gamrot because he’s also one of the high-level grapplers. I think a lot of people would like to see me fight him, I think that’d be a good fight to be honest.”
Pimblett later spoke of his contract situation and his future inside the octagon.
“I could end up getting a little niggle or something like that, because my shoulders are still not fully recovered from the last fight.”
“So, this is my last fight on my contract. It’ll be renegotiation time after this fight. It’s an exciting time to be here.”
