Quick read
Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with how Paddy Pimblett fought against Justin Gaethje. Topuria stated he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how bad until watching that performance. He also revealed that if he moves to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he won't be stripped of his featherweight title because he plans to continue defending the 145-pound belt. Additionally, Magomed Ankalaev challenged Khalil Rountree to a striking masterclass, and UFC announced several new matchups including Cory Sandhagen facing Merab Dvalishvili instead of Sean O'Malley. Jiri Prochazka also discussed still being affected by his recent loss.
