Paddy Pimblett made a huge claim that may anger Dana White when watching UFC 321 for the first time. UFC 321 made a promising start following the back-and-forth scrap between Nathaniel Wood and Jose Miguel Delgado and the all-out war between Ludovít Klein and Mateusz Rebecki on the prelims.

Dustin Poirier says Paddy Pimblett needs to do more than beat Michael Chandler to get a UFC title fight with Ilia Topuria.

Islam Makhachev believes Paddy Pimblett should not be given a title opportunity against Ilia Topuria, as there are more deserving contenders than the Brit.

Topuria was recently asked for an update on his next UFC fight and if he had a preference for his opponent. Online, rumors are circulating that Pimblett will challenge Topuria for the title at the UFC’s first event on Paramount in January.
