Pimblett explained why he should be the next opponent for Topuria

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.

ā€œPeople 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,ā€ Pimblettā€™s words are quoted by Sky Sports.
