Paddy Pimblett's Stool Claim Debunked by Fan
21 Jul
Summary
- Fan claims to have bought Ilia Topuria's UFC stool.
- Paddy Pimblett's social media posts about buying the stool were false.
- The real buyer wants to prevent trash talk against Topuria.
A fan named Jessica has publicly refuted Paddy Pimblett's assertion that he purchased the red corner stool used by Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250. Pimblett had posted on social media, implying he paid over $18,000 for the item, which had become known as 'The stool Topuria quit on.'
Jessica presented evidence, including a video, stating she bought the stool herself. She claimed her intention was to prevent Pimblett or others from using it to mock Topuria, whom she supports. This situation coincides with renewed interest in a potential fight between Pimblett and Topuria.
Earlier in 2026, a fight between the two seemed unlikely, with Topuria on an undefeated streak. However, recent events have realigned their paths. Topuria suffered a loss at UFC Freedom 250, while Pimblett secured a quick submission victory at UFC 329. This makes a fight between them competitively sensible.
