Beneil Dariush Says Paddy Pimblett Has ‘No Chance’ Against Ilia Topuria

“I don’t see where he’d be a threat… Ilia’s wrestling and takedown defense are world-class,” Dariush said, downplaying Pimblett's skill set. The #9-ranked lightweight contender previously accused the UFC of protecting Pimblett from tougher opponents. Ranked #6, Pimblett, on a seven-fight UFC win streak, is rumored to face champion Ilia Topuria next after wins over King Green and Michael Chandler.
