Paddy Pimblett provides context to a controversial sparring session with online rival 'The Menace', revealing the agreement they made before engaging in a heated encounter.
Paddy Pimblett has provided new insights into his controversial sparring session with online rival, ' The Menace ', including the unique agreement they made beforehand. Pimblett arrived at the Manchester Top Team gym and, after some initial tension, the pair donned gloves and engaged in a heated spar, captured on camera phones by onlookers. Pimblett quickly took ' The Menace ' to the ground, securing a rear-naked choke that forced Frimpong to submit.
However, 'The Baddy,' true to his nickname, refused to release the choke, leading to intervention from others as tempers flared.Pimblett has since addressed criticism regarding his refusal to let go of the submission, offering complete context to the situation. The 30-year-old explained his motivation stemmed from Frimpong's perceived bullying of two of his teammates, Jake and George, whom he considers as 'little brothers.' Frimpong's online taunts, especially those directed at George's deceased grandmother, further fueled Pimblett's ire, leading to a heated back-and-forth exchange. The situation escalated when, on the second day of Pimblett's two-week holiday, Frimpong posted a video online disparaging Pimblett. Pimblett claims a fellow fighter from Manchester Top Team, Denis, contacted him, proposing a spar on the condition that neither party would tap out due to strikes or submission holds. The fight would only end when one party was rendered unconscious. Pimblett recounts arriving at the gym, engaging in a brief but intense sparring session, and ultimately securing the submission victory. He asserts that Frimpong willingly exposed his neck for the choke, potentially to avoid prolonged ground and pound. The entire encounter lasted a mere 15 minutes.
