Topuria criticizes Pimblett; Prochazka discusses injury affecting Pereira loss

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize the extent. Topuria also revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he won't be stripped of his featherweight title as he plans to continue defending it. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka said his rematch loss to Alex Pereira continues to haunt him even after becoming a father, claiming he was only at 40-50% capacity due to injury and fought in sparring mode expecting the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev also called out Khalil Rountree, offering to give him a 25-minute striking masterclass.
