Quick read
Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's recent fight against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how bad. Topuria also revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title because he plans to continue defending it. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka said he was only at 40-50% capacity during his recent loss due to injury and felt like he was in sparring mode, waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev (via Abdelaziz) called out Khalil Rountree, offering a 25-minute striking masterclass.
