Overrated? Arman win at UFC 331 ‘showed holes in his game’ — ‘His wrestling is not as good as he thinks it is’

Outside of that … Pimblett was largely unimpressed.

“I’ve got to give him his due,” Pimblett said on YouTube. “As much as I don’t like him, that was a naughty elbow. I thought he looked pretty sh*t up until the point of the elbow. His eye is messed up already. I wish he never landed that just to see how the second and third would have went. That’s where he was just thinking of wrestling, thinking of wrestling, but when they separated with like 15 seconds to go, Ruffy should have tried to put it on him. Ruffy was staying against the fence. That was a statement. I’d still punch his head in, though.”

“I think that showed holes in his game,” Pimblett continued. “His wrestling is not as good as he thinks it is. His eye is mashed up after one right hand. I would have liked to see how that fight would have went on because he couldn’t get Ruffy down, and over the last couple of years, Ruffy hasn’t shown he’s got great takedown defense. Everyone goes on like Arman’s got the best wrestling in the UFC and he showed there that he hasn’t whatsoever. I wasn’t expecting him to knock him out at all, even if it was in the clinch with a short elbow.”
