Merab Says Paddy Pimblett or Justin Gaethje ‘Has No Chance’ Against Ilia Topuria

The bantamweight champion said the winner of Pimblett vs. Gaethje for the UFC interim lightweight title “has no chance” against Ilia Topuria. He finds the matchup interesting, giving Gaethje the edge in striking and Pimblett in grappling. But he calls Topuria a complete champion who hits hard and combines strong wrestling with dangerous jiu-jitsu when he returns to the division.
