A viral exchange on Instagram saw Pimblett call Frimpong out for a fight in the gym, with the beef between the pair eventually settled on Saturday. Pimblett and his Next Generation MMA team travelled to rivals Manchester Top Team for the unsanctioned contest that ended with Frimpong being left unconscious on the mat.

Frimpong quickly taps as he realises Pimblett has won, however, the rising UFC star refuses to relinquish and instead continues to choke out his opponent.
