Arman Tsarukyan has taken aim at two of the UFC's biggest personalities, joking that he is "smarter" than Conor McGregor when it comes to luxury spending before launching a blunt attack on Paddy Pimblett.
The lightweight contender made the comments in a YouTube video on his sponsor Aviator's channel, where he answered a series of fan questions about lifestyle, fellow UFC fighters and more.

In that context, he took digs at 'The Notorious' and the 31-year-old Liverpool native.

When compared to McGregor, who owns a yacht, Tsarukyan explained that he prefers renting luxury items rather than buying them outright, using yachts as an example.
However, he conceded that, due to the size of his wealth, it is something the Irishman can do.
"[I don't have a yacht] Because I am smarter [than McGregor]. One of my friends told me: 'When you buy a yacht, you're happy two times: when you buy and when you sell it.' So that's why I just rented it.

"Unless you have too much money, like Conor."
Arman Tsarukyan also launches harsh criticism of Paddy Pimblett
Later in the same video, Tsarukyan turned his attention to Liverpool lightweight Paddy Pimblett.
When asked about a potential matchup, 'Ahalkalakets' did not hold back in his assessment of Pimblett's ability.
He stated: "I can fight him with just playing, give him one leg and he can even submit me. He's the worst fighter from the UFC. UFC just gotta cut him."
The comments add to the growing tension around Pimblett, who remains one of the promotion's most polarising figures due to his popularity with fans and the debate surrounding the level of opposition he has faced so far.
