Paddy Pimblett On Ilia Topuria's Lightweight Move
Paddy Pimblett makes bold prediction about Ilia Topuria's move to lightweight
Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) vacated his UFC featherweight title for a move up to 155 pounds. Pimblett doubts “El Matador” gets an immediate title shot at lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, and UFC CEO Dana White said it’s not a guarantee, either.

"The Baddy" personally wants Topuria to clear Alexander Volkanovski (again), Diego Lopes, and Movsar Evloev first before testing the waters against him and everybody else at 155lbs.
