UFC analyst disagrees with Pimblett calling Topuria 'damaged goods'
Michael Bisping knows what it's like to rebound from an embarrassing loss.
UFC analyst Michael Bisping is not convinced that former two-weight division champion Ilia Topuria is "damaged goods" after his loss to Justin Gaethje, as claimed by rival Paddy Pimblett. Bisping, who himself has bounced back from a devastating defeat, believes Topuria's resilience could allow him to overcome Pimblett, who is described as "big" and possesses a strong chin.
While Pimblett's toughness and chin are acknowledged, Bisping suggests that Topuria's history of knockouts and his ability to bounce back from a devastating knockout loss to Dan Henderson could see him defeat Pimblett. Bisping thinks the fight needs to happen soon, possibly early next year.
