Paddy Pimblett rooted against Khamzat Chimaev due to Arman Tsarukyan connection

Paddy Pimblett revealed he was rooting for Sean Strickland in his fight against Khamzat Chimaev, but not because of Strickland himself. Pimblett explained that his motivation was simply because Arman Tsarukyan was in Chimaev's corner. The British fighter stated, "A part of me kind of hopes Khamzat loses—just because Arman is in his corner." This reflects the ongoing tension between Pimblett and Tsarukyan.
