Paddy Pimblett: Ilia Topuria is Too Small for Lightweight, Will Move Back Down If He Fights Me
Paddy Pimblett, a popular fighter in the lightweight division, has expressed his strong opinion that Ilia Topuria, the current featherweight champion, is too undersized for the 155-pound weight class. Pimblett confidently stated that if he were to step into the octagon against Topuria, the Georgian fighter would be compelled to drop back down to featherweight.
This assertion from Pimblett suggests a significant physical disparity he perceives between himself and Topuria, implying that a bout between them would heavily favor Pimblett due to size advantage. He seems to be suggesting that Topuria's power and ability to compete effectively at lightweight are questionable, especially against a fighter like himself.
