Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Justin Gaethje, stating he knew Pimblett was poor but didn't realize how much. Topuria also revealed 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 the 155-pound belt. Jiri Prochazka discussed still being affected by his loss even after his child's birth, claiming he was at 40-50% capacity due to injury and expected the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev, through manager Ali Abdelaziz, called out Khalil Rountree, promising a striking masterclass if Rountree can last 25 minutes.
