Ilia Topuria Threatens to 'Eat' Paddy Pimblett Like a Sausage in Heated Exchange
World Sports · 11:28:05 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

UFC featherweight contender Ilia Topuria has launched a scathing verbal attack on fellow fighter Paddy Pimblett, declaring he would "eat him like a sausage" in a recent interview. The Georgian-Spanish fighter, known for his aggressive fighting style and sharp tongue, made the comment during a media appearance ahead of his upcoming bout.

Topuria, currently ranked in the top five of the 145-pound division, has been vocal about his desire to face the British fan favorite Pimblett, who has also risen quickly through the ranks. The pair have exchanged barbs on social media in recent months, but Topuria's latest remark escalates the rhetoric significantly.

Pimblett, known for his charismatic personality and submission prowess, has yet to respond publicly to the sausage analogy. Both fighters are coming off impressive victories and are seen as future title contenders in the featherweight division.
