Paddy Pimblett has a new collector’s item at home.
For the past several years, Pimblett has been feuding with Ilia Topuria, with the two even briefly being linked to a lightweight title fight against each other. While that never happened, the beef between the two has remained, with Pimblett taking particular joy in Topuria’s loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC White House in June.
So much joy that he just spent over 10 grand to dunk on him.
On Monday, Pimblett posted on social media, revealing he purchased
the stool Ilia Topuria used at UFC White House, buying the piece for $13,700.
“Collector’s item”
While Pimblett has yet to fight Topuria, “The Baddy” has been taking a victory lap given his relative success compared to Topuria against Gaethje: Pimblett lost a decision to Gaethje in January, while Topuria’s corner stopped the bout before the fifth round.
Pimblett is also riding high after picking up the biggest win of his career earlier this month, submitting Benoit Saint Denis in less than a minute at UFC 329.
Topuria, meanwhile, has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since his loss, though footage did recently emerge of “El Matador” celebrating Spain’s World Cup victory.
