Paddy Pimblett revealed he was supporting Sean Strickland in the UFC 328 main event specifically because Arman Tsarukyan was working in Khamzat Chimaev's corner. The Liverpool fighter stated that a part of him hoped Chimaev would lose purely due to Tsarukyan's involvement in the opposing corner. This admission came after the bout concluded, highlighting the personal rivalries and allegiances that exist among UFC fighters. Pimblett's comments suggest ongoing tension with Tsarukyan despite not being directly involved in the fight itself.
