Paddy Pimblett Believes He’ll Have Size Advantage Over Ilia Topuria at Lightweight
Paddy Pimblett believes Ilia Topuria is much smaller than him.
Topuria was originally looking to defend his lightweight title against Pimblett. However, Topuria recently announced that he is taking a short hiatus from action for personal reasons. Pimblett is now scheduled to fight Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title at UFC 324 on Jan. 24. Topuria wants Pimblett to beat Gaethje (26-5) and face him in a title unifier.
Pimblett believes he will have a massive size advantage over Topuria at lightweight. “The Baddy” recalled Topuria standing next to former flyweight champion, Alexandre Pantoja, and looking nearly the same size.
