Topuria disappointed in Pimblett, Prochazka blames injury for loss

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's performance against Michael Gaethje, 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 fight Islam Makhachev, he won't be stripped of his featherweight title as he plans to continue defending it. Jiri Prochazka cannot let go of his loss even after his child's birth, claiming he was at 40-50% capacity after injury and was in sparring mode waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev (via Abdelaziz) challenged Khalil Rountree, promising a 25-minute striking masterclass.
