“I used to be considering, ‘Wow, you are silly. Why did you progress into this division?” He was small. He seems to be 5 ft 5, 5 ft 6. He has the audacity to name me fats when he says he cannot make one other 145 when he is midget. It is meaningless. Actually, I feel he ran from 145. As a result of he knew 12 weeks in the past from the lack of knockout that Volk would give him a a lot more durable struggle than his first struggle. He then makes (Movsar) Evloev and (Diego) Lopes struggle. Had Ilia defended the belt twice extra, she would have revered Ilia extra.
Pimblett continued to share his perception that Topuria wouldn’t get the following UFC light-weight title shot.
“I do not suppose he deserves a straight title shot, and I do not suppose the UFC will do this,” Pinblett mentioned. “If you wish to get a title shot, I feel he’ll must compete with somebody within the high three.”
Topuria had one UFC featherweight title protection. That was opposition to Max Holloway in October 2024. “El Matador” grew to become the primary fighter to knock out “Blessed.”
As for Pimblett, he’s scheduled to face Michael Chandler on the UFC 314 card in Miami.
