Topuria attacked Pimblett because of his words about Georgia

UFC featherweight Ilya Topuria told why he had a brawl with organization lightweight Paddy Pimblett.

“I don’t know him, but I first came across him when he talked with Guram Kutateladze. And suddenly I read, like: “Now I know why Russia bombed Georgia. You guys are a bunch of idiots." How can you take it as a joke when so many innocent people died in that war? For me, this is also a sore subject, because members of my family and many of my compatriots died there. From there it all started. If he thought that I would take a step back when I saw him, he was very mistaken, ”says Topuria.
