Topuria criticizes Pimblett performance; Prochazka blames injury for title loss

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, saying he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how much. Topuria also revealed that if he moves to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he won't be stripped of his lightweight title as he plans to continue defending at 145 pounds. Jiri Prochazka discussed still being affected by his title loss despite recently becoming a father, claiming he was at 40-50% power after injury and was in sparring mode waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering him a striking masterclass and questioning if Rountree could last 25 minutes.
