Paddy Pimblett doesn’t have what it takes to beat Ilia Topuria, according to a talented flyweight fighter.
Last night, at UFC 317, ‘El Matador’ produced a remarkable performance, rendering Charles Oliveira unconscious in front of a stunned crowd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
The second the fight finished, attention switched to the Spanish-Georgian’s next contest, with Topuria facing off with Paddy Pimblett, much to the dismay of Dana White.
However, the Liverpudlian’s countryman doesn’t give him much of a chance of upsetting the apple cart.
