Topuria says he won't be stripped if he moves to welterweight for Islam fight

Ilia Topuria revealed multiple topics in recent comments. He expressed disappointment in how Paddy Pimblett performed against Justin Gaethje, saying he knew Paddy was a poor fighter but didn't realize how much. Topuria also discussed a potential move to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, stating he would not be stripped of his featherweight title because he plans to continue defending the 145-pound belt. Jiri Prochazka discussed still being haunted by his loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was at 40-50% capacity due to injury and was fighting in sparring mode, waiting for the referee to intervene. Magomed Ankalaev (via Abdel Aziz) called out Khalil Rountree, saying Rountree doesn't need wrestling training with Khamzat Chimaev because Ankalaev only wants to give him a 25-minute striking masterclass.
