Topuria criticizes Pimblett performance, Prochazka blames injury for loss

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize the extent. Topuria also confirmed he would not be stripped of the featherweight title if he moves to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, as he plans to continue defending at 145 pounds. Jiri Prochazka continues dwelling on his recent loss despite becoming a father, claiming he was operating at 40-50% capacity due to injury and expected the referee to stop the fight. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering a 25-minute striking masterclass. UFC announced multiple new matchups including a challenging bout for Cory Sandhagen against Rob Font instead of Sean O'Malley.
