Ilia Topuria says he won't be stripped if he moves up to challenge Islam

Ilia Topuria revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to challenge Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title because he plans to continue defending the 145-pound belt. Topuria also expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how bad. Additionally, the digest mentions Jiri Prochazka discussing his recent loss, saying he was at 40-50% capacity after his injury and fought in sparring mode while waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Multiple fight announcements were also referenced.
