Islam Makhachev has vacated the belt to move up to welterweight, Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira will fight for the title on June 28 at UFC 317, and there are a host of contenders waiting for their chance to try to take the throne. Two of them are Arman Tsarukyan and Paddy Pimblett, who have recently had a fierce exchange of words through social networks due to some words from the English fighter that did not please the Armenian at all, and have led to a heated discussion."Tsarukyan is a complete nobody, and then there's Gaethje and me.

An unexpected warning in the UFC: “I will be Makhachev’s worst nightmare”

The UFC welterweight division has become one of the most dangerous in the entire company in recent months due to the number of prospects who could become champions in the future. One of them is Joaquin Buckley (21-6), who will face a legend like Kamaru Usman (20-4) on June 14. If he wins, the American would be on the verge of a title shot, and he is clear that he is the one to stop Islam Makhachev (27-1) after his decision to move up in weight class and leave the lightweight belt vacant."I will be Makhachev's worst nightmare, not Della Maddalena," Buckley told 'Parry Pinch', who believes the Dagestani will manage to beat the Australian to win the double belt. However, he does see himself capable of beating Makhachev, as since dropping to welterweight in 2023 he has accumulated six […]

UFC breakout fighter Paddy Pimblett’s warning to Ilia Topuria

As UFC 317 draws closer, the buzz around Ilia Topuria's highly anticipated bout with Charles Oliveira continues to grow. But amid the excitement, one rising star is sounding the alarm, Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett. The outspoken English fighter shared a blunt prediction about Topuria's chances, citing a factor that's often overlooked: size.Speaking to TNT Sports, Pimblett acknowledged Topuria's punching power and Oliveira's history of getting dropped, but insisted the weight jump from featherweight (145 lbs) to lightweight (155 lbs) is more significant than fans might think. "That 10 pounds makes a big difference. People don't understand that unless they're in the sport," he said.Ilia Topuria manda otro mensaje a Islam Makhachev"He might get a bit of a fright"Pimblett emphasized the physical disparity Topuria will face on fight night. "Charles is like my height. Ilia is down here when I stand […]

Ilia Topuria analyzes Makhachev’s situation: “I think mentally he’s broken”

Of course, Ilia Topuria (16-0) took advantage of the press conference at WOW 19 in Alicante, to send a few messages to Dagestan, Russia. The former featherweight champion, who vacated the title so that Volkanovski (27-4) could regain it, has returned 'home' to headline the WOW 19 event that his promoter will stage this Saturday at the Centro de Tecnificacion in the city of Alicante. But he also took advantage of the trip to leave a few messages.However, they were all for Islam Makhachev (27-1) and his representative, the famous Ali Abdelaziz. 'El Matador' did not like, not at all, Ali's explanations as to why Islam was not going to face him at UFC 317, since Charles Oliveira (35-10) will occupy the vacant title after the Dagestani's move up to welterweight.And precisely, about that rise in search of the double […]
