Topuria criticizes Pimblett; Prochazka reflects on loss despite new child

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with how Paddy Pimblett fought against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how much. Topuria also revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to face Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title because he plans to continue defending that belt. Jiri Prochazka admitted he cannot let go of his recent loss even after the birth of his child, saying he was only at 40-50% power after his injury and was fighting in sparring mode, waiting for the referee to intervene. Magomed Ankalaev (through Abdelaziz) challenged Khalil Rountree, stating Rountree doesn't need the wrestling training with Khamzat and promising a 25-minute striking masterclass if Rountree can last that long.
