Topuria criticizes Paddy Pimblett performance, discusses potential Islam superfight

Ilia Topuria expressed disappointment in how Paddy Pimblett fought against Renato Moicano, stating he knew Pimblett was a poor fighter but didn't realize how bad. Topuria also revealed 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 lightweight belt. Jiri Prochazka stated he can't let go of his loss even after the birth of his child, claiming he was at 40-50% capacity after injury and fighting in sparring mode while waiting for the referee to stop the bout. Magomed Ankalaev called out Khalil Rountree, offering a 25-minute striking masterclass.
