Quick read
Ilia Topuria revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his lightweight title because he plans to continue defending it. Topuria also expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Gaethje, saying he knew Paddy was a poor fighter but didn't realize how much. Jiri Prochazka stated he was at 40-50% power during his recent fight due to injury and was fighting in sparring mode, waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev challenged Khalil Rountree to a striking battle, suggesting Rountree's wrestling training with Khamzat Chimaev is unnecessary.
