Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Justin Gaethje, stating he knew Pimblett was not a strong fighter but didn't realize the extent. Topuria also revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to face Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title as he plans to continue defending the lightweight belt. Jiri Prochazka discussed being unable to let go of his loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was operating at 40-50% capacity due to injury and was in sparring mode waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev challenged Khalil Rountree to a striking masterclass, suggesting Rountree's wrestling training with Khamzat Chimaev is unnecessary.
