UFC lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett has stepped up his trash talk as he chases UFC Lightweight Title shot against Ilia Topuria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Liverpudlian wants to face Topuria at the famous Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, stating that he wants to ‘punch your face in in enemy territory’.<\/p>\n

Paddy Pimblett Calls For Bernabeu Super-Fight With Ilia Topuria<\/h2>\n

Paddy Pimblett’s next fight<\/a> is yet to be officially confirmed, as the #7 UFC lightweight contender chases a bout with Ilia Topuria for the UFC Lightweight Title.<\/p>\n

There have been several rumours all over social media that Pimblett was indeed getting the next shot at ‘El Matador’ and the 155-pound belt, but as of today nothing has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

After Topuria destroyed Charles Oliveira inside one round to win the UFC Lightweight Title last time out, Pimblett got in the octagon and faced-off with the undefeated champion, insinuating that was the next fight to make at lightweight.<\/p>\n

However, UFC President Dana White wasn’t pleased at ‘The Baddy’ being allowed inside the octagon with Topuria, with the likes of Justin Gaethje and Arman Tsarukyan perhaps more deserving of the next shot at Topuria and the lightweight belt.<\/p>\n

That hasn’t stopped Pimblett from continually calling out Topuria in any interview he does. Now, the Liverpudlian has upped his game even more as he continues his trash-talking campaign in a bid to secure the Topuria fight.<\/p>\n

In his latest interview with eldoberdanMMA<\/em>, ‘The Baddy’ took digs at Topuria’s heritage, whilst also dissing the Bernabeu Stadium, home of Real Madrid FC, labelling it a ‘s***hole’.<\/p>\n

Topuria eyed a Santiago Bernabeu showdown with Pimblett<\/a> previously, and now it seems that the English MMA star is up for the task too:<\/p>\n

“I want to fight Ilia, whenever, wherever. <\/em>I’d love to come to Bernabeu and punch your face in. Do it in Spain in front of your fake countrymen because you’re really German.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’d love to come and punch your face in in front of 90,000 people in the Bernabeu in enemy territory for me because the Bernabeu is a s***hole,”<\/em> Pimblett told eldoberdanMMA<\/em>.<\/p>\n
