Paul Rimmer thinks his star pupil, Paddy Pimblett, is a better fighter than UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria.

Ilia Topuria continued his ascension up the pound-for-pound ladder with a major statement via a vicious first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira to win the vacant lightweight championship at UFC 317.

Ilia Topuria needed just one round to finish Charles Oliveira, knocking him out cold to capture the vacant lightweight title in the UFC 317 main event.
