UFC London stars Paddy Pimblett and Ilia Topuria become rubble at the boxer HOTEL after a heated social media fight

UFC London duo Paddy Pimblett and Ilia Topuria almost got into a fight at the boxers hotel on Tuesday.

Mild prospects turned into a Twitter feud last April after Pimblett said: “How stupid Lad these Georgian men are… it’s no wonder the Russians terrorize their lives. surname.”

And things quickly came to a head when they caught up with each other at the Canary Wharf Hilton on Tuesday afternoon.

Footage captured by Topuria’s team shows the proud Georgian taking on Liverpool’s latest MMA prospect.

And new fan favorite Pimblett ended up throwing a water bottle before El Matador swung his arm at him.

The table separating the couple flew, so did some plates and cutlery.

Seconds later, Pimblett asked the newcomer gently: “Lad, do you think I’m afraid of you?”

The pair’s respective teams were quick to work things out before a full-blown brawl ensued – although the UFC’s always-mindful security comes first as well.

After being wrestled back from the melee and being escorted away, a burning Topuria repeatedly shouted, “F*** you, b****.”

An angry Pimblett bellowed: “What, man? Come! Come here, little maggot.”

Thankfully, not a single man – nor any UFC personnel or security personnel in the vicinity – were injured.

But their shift has paved the way for a fascinating future clash of light prospects.

Topuria’s accompanying caption for the clip – which has gone viral in the MMA world – reads: “I warned you!

“This is what happens when you disrespect me and my country!

“You saw me and wanted to greet me because you groped your pants… and you should thank my team because if it weren’t for them to tear me apart, I would have abandoned you.

“This is not Twitter, this is real life!”

Topuria will join the UFC London stacking tag front, locking horns with Black Country Banger Jai Herbert.

Pimblett, meanwhile, will face Mexican Kazula Vargas on the main card – a match that will be highlighted by a heavyweight showdown between Tom Aspinall and Wigan’s Alexander Volkov.
