Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment with how Paddy Pimblett performed in his fight against Justin Gaethje. Topuria stated he knew Pimblett was not a strong fighter but didn't realize the extent of his limitations. Additionally, Topuria revealed that if he moves up to welterweight to face Islam Makhachev, he would not be stripped of his lightweight title because he plans to continue defending the 155-pound belt. The post also mentioned that Jiri Prochazka remains focused on his loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was operating at 40-50% capacity due to injury.
