‘I don’t give a f—k about the weight class’ - Ilia Topuria pushes for Paddy Pimblett fight after UFC London

Even after his sensational knockout win over Jai Herbert on Saturday in his lightweight debut at UFC London, Ilia Topuria’s focus remained on Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett. The two men had a physical altercation during fight week, stemming from Pimblett’s unflattering comments about Georgian people.

The number-15 ranked featherweight is aching to settle the score with the UFC’s rising star. During his post-fight media scrum, Topuria once again pushed for a fight with Pimblett. This time, he’s saying weight classes don’t matter.

“With Paddy, I don’t give a f—k about any weight class,” Topuria told the media.
