Ilia Topuria stated that if he moves up to welterweight to fight Islam Makhachev, he will not be stripped of his lightweight title because he plans to continue defending the 155-pound belt. Topuria also expressed disappointment with Paddy Pimblett's performance against Renato Moicano, saying he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize the extent. Additionally, the post covered Jiri Prochazka claiming he competed at 40-50% capacity in his recent loss due to injury and was waiting for the referee to stop the fight, plus Magomed Ankalaev calling out Khalil Rountree.
