Paddy Pimblet Makes Bold Predification About Ilia Topuria’s Move to Lightweight

Paddy Pimblet Doesn’T See Ilia Topuria Having Success at Lightweight.

Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) Vacated His UFC Featherweight Title for a Move up to 155 pounds. Pimblet Doubts “El Matador” Gets An Immediaate Title Shot at Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev, and UFC CEO DANA WHITE SAID IT’S NOT A GUANTEE, EITHER.

Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) Went Off on Topuria and Warned Him of What’s To Come At 155 Pounds.

“That’s The Fight I Want,” Pimblet Told Round Eight Boxing of Topuria. “I Want that Fight. That’s another One Just to Prove Everyone Wrong. He’s A Midget, Lad. He’s not a lightweight. He Shouldn’t Be Fighting at Lightweight. He short just stop at featherweight. I Going to be the Downfoll of His Career. ”

With back-to-back knockouts of Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway, Topuria Thinks He’s Done All He Needs to do Featherweight, But Pimblet Disagrees.

“IT’s A Big Mistake,” Pimblet Said. “I THINK HE KNEW THAT IN A REMatch with Volk, Fighting Volk WHEN HASN’T BEEN KNCKED OUT 12 weeks earlier with a naughhty head

“He Said he Cemented his legacy at the weight. IT’s A Little Bit of Bullsh*t. Beat Volk Again, Beat (Diego) Lopes, Beat (Movsar) Evloev, Ten You’ve Cleared the Division Out Ten Move Up. Champions Are Too Quick to Want to Move Up Now and Not Defend the Belt. ”
