Paddy Pimblett targeting The Ultimate Fighter role against Ilia Topuria: I'd get under his skin so much'

‘The Baddy’ returned to the win column this past June when he choked out Benoit Saint-Denis in under a minute in the UFC 329 co-main event, once again putting himself into the lightweight title conversation.

Despite his impressive win over the Frenchman, though, Paddy Pimblett still finds himself behind Arman Tsarukyan, who maintained his spot at number one in the 155lb division with a recent win over Mauricio Ruffy.

And because of that, he is once again targeting a grudge match against former featherweight and lightweight champion Ilia Topuria , who is targeting a return in February.
