Usman: "Pimblett deserves respect".

"Not the most polished striking, still a lot of mistakes, still immature, but he's taken his grappling to an elite level. If he ends up at the top, he grinds guys down.

If you talk about the top of the division, there's definitely guys that will get hit there, but I've got nothing against him, Paddy Pimblett has done it again. We have to respect him," Usman said on his YouTube channel.

Recall that Pimblett knocked out Chandler in the third round.
