Topuria Has Done a Lot in the Sport, but I Think He’s Been Hand-Fed Opponents That Are Convenient for Him: Pimblett

Famous British fighter Paddy Pimblett has spoken out regarding the opposition of former Spanish-Georgian Spanish-Georgian featherweight champion Ilia Topuria.

He has done a lot in the sport since then, but I do still think he's been hand-fed opponents. Holloway had just been fighting at 155, had to get back to '45 and had a war with (Justin) Gaethje. Volk had just been knocked out like two months earlier, three months earlier. Josh Emmett was like 37. Bryce (Mitchell), as much as I love Bryce, we know he's not a striker.

Pimblett last fought against Michael Chandler in April of this year at UFC 314. Paddy won that fight by technical knockout in the third round. He has 23 wins and three losses under his belt.

Pimblett made his UFC debut in September 2021. At that time, he was opposed by Brazilian Luigi Vendramini. This fight, which was stopped in the first round, ended in favor of Paddy by knockout.
