Dustin Poirier Suggests Paddy Pimblett Prove Himself Before Ilia Topuria Title Shot

While #7 Pimblett has beaten big names like Ferguson and Green, Poirier believes it isn’t enough and dismissed his UFC 314 win over Chandler as title-worthy. “I’d like to see him fight one more top-5 guy, one more tough, tough test, and then we can talk,” he said. Meanwhile, Sonnen supports a title shot for Pimblett (23-3-0), noting his trash-talking makes him a bigger business draw.
