Popular Aussie and NZ MMA Fighters

The UFC returns to London this upcoming Saturday with a very exciting fight card.

Two fighters who are competing on the card this weekend are Liverpool's Paddy Pimblett and featherweight prospect Ilia Topuria. Pimblett and Topuria have a history with each other which stems back a few months to when Pimblett mocked the Russian invasion of Georgia, the country where Topuria is from.

Topuria, of course was not happy with Pimblett's comments and that is where the feud between the two started.

Earlier today, the two crossed paths and you can see below to see what happened.

As you can see in the video, Topuria is with several of his teammates and Pimblett is completely by himself which is not a good look for the Georgian.

The Liverpudlian and the Georgian also exchanged words on Twitter after the altercation.

With this confrontation taking place, does this plant the seed for a potential fight between the two in the near future?
