Pimblett: "Topuria is afraid to challenge Holloway".

Dmitriy Kel | Published July 4, 2024, 3:02 a.m.

British UFC lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett believes Spanish-Georgian welterweight division champion Elijah Topuria is overrated.

"Topuria is afraid to face Max. He doesn't want to challenge Holloway because he knows how it will end for him. Elijah fought Volkanovski just 10 weeks after he was knocked out by Islam. Honestly, he just got lucky," - quotes Pimblett MMAJunkie.

Recall, earlier Topuria said that the first defense of the belt would like to hold the first defense of the belt at the UFC 308 tournament, scheduled for October 26 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
