Topuria appreciated Pimblett’s win over Chandler

Ilia Topuria, the former UFC featherweight champion, gave his assessment of Paddy Pimblett`s victory over Michael Chandler.

Topuria commented on Joe Rogan`s podcast, saying: “He performed admirably. He accomplished what was anticipated, but in my view… to be frank, Chandler has never struck me as an exceptional fighter. He`s mediocre. Who has he defeated in the UFC? He won against Dan Hooker and Tony Ferguson, who was nearing 40 years of age.”
