Paddy Pimblett provided updates regarding his career in UFC, including the potential fight with Ilia Topuria, who is the lightweight champion. The conflict between them has been ongoing since 2022, when they were supposed to have a super fight in London.

Pimblett, who ranks 9th in the lightweight rankings, noted that the previous contenders are Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje, who have better chances for a title fight. Tsarukyan, who ranks 2nd, recently announced his fight through social media, while Gaethje also has a challenging situation after several losses in title fights.

In his video on YouTube, Pimblett said: "I'm just waiting for a call. 'Hey, it's Chorizo, I'm going for that title!'" This phrase has become popular in his statements about Topuria. He also mentioned that his fight with Topuria would be very commercial, although analysts believe he needs to secure one more victory.

Topuria, who recently became the champion, is currently waiting for confirmation of a super fight for his first title defense. It is known that he plans to fight in the spring of next year, but the final decision remains with the UFC.
