What at one point seemed like a possibility, now seems like a mismatch, at least according to Ilia Topuria’s coach Jorge Climent.
Just two years ago, there was plenty of talk of a potential fight between Topuria, who now holds the UFC featherweight title, and lightweight star Paddy Pimblett.
The two fighters got into a short skirmish at the host hotel for UFC Fight Night 204 in London back in March 2022, and they had a long history of social media exchanges, which were sparked by Pimblett’s comments poking fun at Russo-Georgian War.
