UFC boss Dana White has confirmed that Ilia Topuria‘s next fight will come against the winner of the UFC 324 interim title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett.
Last night, Dana White dropped some bombshell news for mixed martial arts fans. One of the biggest stories of the evening was that in the wake of Ilia Topuria taking a brief hiatus due to personal issues, the UFC interim lightweight championship will be up for grabs at UFC 324. The two men competing for it will be Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett.
As you can imagine, a lot of people were curious as to why Arman Tsarukyan wasn’t given a shot, especially given that he even said he is more than willing to do a quick turnaround and compete on the January card.
