Ilia Topuria criticizes Paddy Pimblett's performance and discusses Islam fight

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's performance against Justin Gaethje, stating he knew Pimblett was weak but didn't realize how much. Topuria confirmed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his lightweight title as he plans to continue defending it. Additionally, Jiri Prochazka revealed he hasn't been able to let go of his recent loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was only at 40-50% capacity after his injury and was fighting in sparring mode waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev, through his manager Ali Abdelaziz, called out Khalil Rountree, suggesting they have a striking masterclass for 25 minutes if Rountree can last that long.
