Pimblett on Topuria: "He didn't deserve the fight with Makhachev"

Alexandr Ormanji Feb. 12, 2025, 8:38 a.m.

UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett believes Elijah Topuria doesn't deserve to fight Islam Makhachev.

"I don't see Elijah fighting Islam. He's only defended the championship belt once and he doesn't deserve this fight. Usually you have to make at least three defenses before you can claim a title in another division. He's not such a big star to leapfrog others. He's not Conor McGregor to just take a title fight in another weight class."
