Paddy Pimblett Says He Wants Ilia Topuria Next After Justin Gaethje Fight Fell Through

#6-ranked lightweight revealed he expected to face Gaethje in Abu Dhabi this October, but says the bout won’t happen. “He’s sitting out… There’s no one left for me apart from Ilia Topuria,” Pimblett said. Undefeated in seven UFC fights, the Liverpudlian (23-3) claims champion Topuria is “stalling” on signing, adding he’s ready for a title shot if the champion accepts.
