Quick read
Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Chase Hooper, saying 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 as he plans to continue defending the lightweight belt. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka continues dwelling on his loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was at 40-50% power due to injury and fighting in sparring mode while waiting for the referee to intervene. Magomed Ankalaev challenged Khalil Rountree to a striking masterclass, suggesting Rountree's wrestling training with Chimaev is unnecessary.
