Topuria disappointed by Pimblett's performance; UFC announces new matchups

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize the extent. Topuria also revealed that if he moves to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title as he plans to continue defending it. Jiri Prochazka discussed still being affected by his recent loss even after his child's birth, claiming he was at 40-50% capacity due to injury and fighting in "sparring mode" while waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering a striking masterclass. The UFC made several new fight announcements including Cory Sandhagen facing Batista instead of Sean O'Malley.
