“I’d love to smash his head in, lad, but we need to wait and see,” Pimblett said of Topuria in an interview with Eze Obas. “Nothing yet. No one’s spoke to me about it, so we’ll see what happens.”

“Arman, Gaethje, Ruffy, Charles (Oliveira), there’s loads of names,” Pimblett said. “When I get told who I’m fighting, I’m sure everyone else will know. If I fight again this year it’ll be in December hopefully, but we’ll see what happens.”
