Ilia Topuria & Paddy Pimblett Heated Confrontation at UFC Qatar

Paddy Pimblett and Ilia Topuria exchange words at the UFC Qatar fighters’ hotel, adding another chapter to one of the UFC’s most heated rivalries. Their tension dates back years to a UFC London fight week altercation, where Pimblett threw a bottle of hand sanitizer at Topuria — a moment that inspired the nickname “Hand Sanitizer Boy” for the now–lightweight champion.
After Topuria captures the vacant lightweight title with a stunning knockout over Charles Oliveira in June, Pimblett walks into the octagon for a tense faceoff, hinting at a potential future showdown. Ever since, rumors swirl about a marquee main event under the UFC’s new broadcast deal with Paramount starting in January, though no agreement has been finalized yet.
Pimblett continues calling out Topuria and pushing for the fight, but fans still wait to see whether this long-running feud finally gets settled inside the cage.
