Paddy Pimblett and Ilia Topuria have been at odds since the inception of their UFC careers and never fail to take a dig or shove each other whenever they come close or get a chance.
However, ‘The Baddy’ recently set the long-running beef aside and wished Topuria the best, as the latter is going through some personal issues and has decided not to enter the octagon in the first quarter of 2026.
In Topuria’s absence, to keep the lightweight division running, Justin Gaethje and Pimblett will fight at UFC 324 for the interim lightweight championship.
