Paddy Pimblett, a lightweight prospect in the UFC, explained why he should be the next opponent for the current champion in this division, Ilia Topuria.
“People say that Gaethje should be the next contender. But Justin just defeated a guy ranked 11th or 12th after losing to Max Holloway last year.
And you can probably present some arguments in favor of Gaethje. Although I think that Ilia and I have a common history. Excluding the showdown between Islam and Ilia, who are the top-ranked fighters in the UFC regardless of weight classes, my fight with Topuria is the most grandiose of those that can be made in the UFC,” Pimblett’s words are quoted by Sky Sports.
