Quick read
Ilia Topuria stated he was disappointed with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Justin Gaethje, saying he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how much. Topuria also revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title because he plans to continue defending the 145-pound belt. Jiri Prochazka discussed still being affected by his recent loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was at 40-50% power due to injury and was fighting in sparring mode, waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev (through Abdelaziz) called out Khalil Rountree, offering him a 25-minute striking masterclass.
