Topuria disappointed in Pimblett performance, confirms dual-division plans

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with 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 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 remains affected by his recent loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was at 40-50% power after his injury and fighting in sparring mode while waiting for the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering a 25-minute striking masterclass.
