Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how bad until watching that bout. In a significant revelation, Topuria confirmed that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his featherweight title, as he plans to continue defending the 145-pound championship. This suggests the UFC may allow him to pursue fights in multiple divisions while maintaining his featherweight belt. The comments indicate ongoing discussions about a potential super-fight with Makhachev.
