UFC’s rising superstar Paddy Pimblett has found himself in a verbal scuffle against former two-time Bantamweight Champion TJ Dillashaw over his diet and after much back and forth, has called out Dillashaw over his past of taking EPO.
I’ll still be here in 11 years…. with a proper legacy not tainted like yours: Paddy Pimblett to TJ Dillashaw
It all started when TJ Dillashaw, currently ranked 2nd in the Bantamweight division, was asked about Paddy Pimblett, and Dillashaw wasn’t very appreciating of the Liverpudlian fighter, owning mostly to his dieting habits and saying that Pimblett will never clinch gold in the Octagon.
“He’s just loving diabetes. That’s like a recipe for destroying your body. I guess there’s one thing when I look at it: They can promote him the right way and do all this good stuff, and he’s got some stuff to grow and get into the higher echelons of the UFC, but if you keep that same work ethic that he has now, he’ll never be a champion.” [H/T BJPenn.com]
Dillashaw’s comments were followed up with some verbal heat exchange between the two on social media, with Pimblett calling him a “sausage cheating little juice head” and adding that Dillashaw would never had become champion himself without steroids.
“Is this fella messin @TJDillashaw used to sell tee shirts with his fat face on it saying “fat Tyler” on when he came out of camp don’t forget ur own past u sausage Cheating little juice head wud never have won a belt without them steroids u f*****g mushroom,” Pimblett responded.
Dillashaw, in his reply, took to Instagram to state why he wasn’t trying to be mean, he did emphasize once again on Pimblett getting diabetes in the future.
“Wasn’t even trying to be mean. @theufcbaddy getting all sensitive, must be a tasty subject. Drop the donuts and take the advice. The only difference of fat Tyler is that it was a joke lol. What’s not a joke is you getting diabetes. Let’s see how you look after 11 years in the UFC, good luck lasting that long,” wrote Dillashaw.
“The Baddy” wasn’t done yet, as he fired back at Dillashaw over taking EPO in the past and tainting his legacy.
“Not as sensitive as ur body to that EPO when u cheated. still didnt win what an embarrassment u are I’ll still be here in 11 years if I haven’t already retired with a proper legacy not tainted like urs & also a lot more money in my pocket than you’ve ever earned night son,” Pimblett tweeted.
