Topuria disappointed in Pimblett performance; Prochazka reflects on loss to Pereira

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's recent performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was weak but not to that extent. Topuria also clarified 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 145-pound belt. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka revealed he cannot move past his loss to Alex Pereira even after the birth of his child, claiming he was operating at only 40-50 percent capacity due to injury and expected the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev, through his manager, issued a callout to Khalil Rountree, offering a striking masterclass.
