Quick read
Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Dan Gage, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how poor. Topuria also revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title as he plans to continue defending the lightweight belt. Jiri Prochazka discussed his recent loss, claiming he was operating at 40-50% capacity after injury and fought in 'sparring mode' while waiting for referee intervention. Magomed Ankalaev (through manager Ali Abdelaziz) called out Khalil Rountree, offering to give him a 25-minute striking masterclass if Rountree can last that long.
