Paddy Pimblett criticizes title shot discussions for Arman Tsarukyan
Summary

Paddy Pimblett expressed his discontent over the talk of Arman Tsarukyan receiving the next title shot in the UFC. Following his quick submission victory over Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 329, Pimblett believes his performance better qualifies him for a title opportunity. He argued that Tsarukyan's knockout of Mauricio Ruffy does not warrant title consideration, asserting that Tsarukyan has not defeated opponents ranked higher than those he has faced. The debate continues as Justin Gaethje is also mentioned in potential title discussions against either Tsarukyan or Ilia Topuria.
