Beneil Dariush Dismissed Paddy Pimblett’s Chances Against Ilia Topuria

“I honestly can’t see where he would be a threat,” Dariush said. He feels, “In the striking? I think he’s (Topuria) going to be in a lot of danger. But, if he gets a takedown, he’s a very good grappler.” While Topuria wanted Pimblett for his first lightweight title defense, Dana White confirmed that UFC Qatar: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker will serve as a title eliminator.
