Pimblett Taunts Topuria, Says He'd Drop to Featherweight

Paddy Pimblett continued his verbal sparring with Ilia Topuria after the latter’s loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC Casa Blanca, insisting that the 155‑pound lightweight is undersized. He warned that if they ever meet in the octagon, Topuria would need to drop back to the featherweight division.

The comments came ahead of Pimblett’s upcoming fight against Benoit Saint‑Denis at UFC 329, where he seeks to rebound from his earlier defeat. Meanwhile, Topuria remains focused on rebuilding his game and waiting for his next opponent.
