LONDON – Ilia Topuria was elated Saturday following his violent knockout win over Jai Herbert at UFC Fight Night 204 – so much so, he didn’t want to even utter the name of the fighter who has become his arch rival in recent months. With the rivalry turning physical during fight week and the two enemies’ placement within four fights of each other on the same card, Topuria (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was asked almost immediately about Paddy Pimblett (18-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at a post-fight news conference.
