Ilia Topuria Laughs Off Pimblett Challenge: ‘Easiest Fight in the Division’

Ilia Topuria thinks Paddy Pimblett is the easiest fight in the lightweight division.

Topuria and ‘The Baddy’ have been feuding ever since a viral incident in 2022 when both athletes were scheduled to compete in London.

Pimblett infamously threw a bottle of hand sanitizer at ‘El Matador’ after being encountered by the newly minted 155-pound champ and his teammates. The two have been at each other’s throats ever since.

Things finally got physical between the two at UFC 317, moments after Topuria scored an epic first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira to win the vacant lightweight title.
