Ilia Topuria promises no title stripping if he moves to welterweight for Islam fight

Ilia Topuria 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. The UFC featherweight champion expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's recent performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was limited as a fighter but didn't realize the extent. The post also mentions that Jiri Prochazka discussed still being affected by his recent loss even after his child's birth, claiming he was only at 40-50% power due to injury. Additionally, Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering him a 25-minute striking masterclass.
