Dominick Cruz Says Ilia Topuria vs. Paddy Pimblett Makes “Most Sense”

“This thing’s about paychecks at a time… who’s the biggest prize? We all know the answer,” Cruz said, arguing Topuria’s first lightweight title defense should be against #7-ranked Pimblett. The pair clashed in a UFC 317 stare-down after Topuria’s KO of Oliveira. While contenders like Tsarukyan and Gaethje loom, Cruz believes Pimblett’s star power makes the fight most lucrative.
