PADDY WHACK

Justin and critics hammer Pimblett

- BY MARTIN DOMIN

ONE by one they lined up to take their shots.

Paddy Pimblett had spent ve round shielding himself against an onslaught from Justin Gaethje.

But now, bloodied and bruised - and heading straight to a Las Vegas hospital bed - he was defenceless.

First came Armenian star Arman Tsarukyan, who felt Pimblett had stolen his shot at the UFC interim lightweight title.

“This clown couldn't beat Gaethje on antibiotics,’ he blurted out, a reference to a suspected infection the American carried into the fight at the T-Mobile Arena.

“He's a trash can, Paddy is not a top fighter. If it was me, Gaethje wouldn't do that”
