Ilia Topuria performs another Paddy Pimblett U-turn ahead of UFC 317 after seemingly squashing beef with Brit
ILIA TOPURIA has seemingly performed yet another U-turn on Paddy Pimblett. The pair almost came to blows at the UFC London fighter hotel in March 2022 after Topuria confronted the submission specialist over comments he made about his fellow Georgians. 5 5 5 A public war of words has played out over the last three years, although the duo seemingly put their differences aside with a brief embrace at the most recent UFC London weigh-ins. But Topuria, who fights for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317 next weekend, insists he still has immense disdain for 'The Baddy'. The 28-year-old said of Pimblett in an interview with ESPN Deportes: 'He's a hypocrite. "I'll tell you, I remember we shared a press conference once, and he said something like, 'I'm fighting in the main card, and you're on the prelims,' some kind of nonsense. "And now I'm thinking, I have two belts. Where are you? "Who the f**k is Paddy Pimblett right now and why would he deserve to fight me right now?" who picked up the biggest win of his career against Michael Chandler in April, as his next opponent. He said: "Honestly, if I could choose a fight, I would fight him because I hate him. He's a pain in the ass.

"Two people who really want to fight each other, and what better way than to fight in front of everyone and put on a show? Ilia Topuria Trains For UFC 317 Clash With Charles Oliveira "I know what's going to happen, and it won't be good for him." Topuria has the small matter of beating former 155lbs titleholder and fan favourite Charles Oliveira before he can think about settling the score with Pimblett. But 'El Matador' believes he'll make light work of the Brazilian, saying: "Charles is a great fighter. "I'd say he's a legendary fighter, one of the few still active in the UFC. "But the truth is that his style fits perfectly with mine to put him to sleep in the first round. "Because he has no mobility, he doesn't move."

'Chansiri owes explanation to players and fans'
No words from the more than two weeks since it emerged wages at Sheffield Wednesday hadn't been paid in full on time. One 59-word statement, including an apology, has been issued since. That was 13 days ago. Mercifully, the non-playing staff, coaches and some players have now received their wages. Some players, however, are still by Tuesday, the club and owner Dejphon Chansiri have to respond to their EFL charges over payment has never been backwards in coming forwards in the past. Why is there silence now?In September 2023, for example, he issued a statement threatening not to put any more money into the club and said: "If you say you are the owner and I am the custodian, then show me how to be the good owner and help save your club."He followed that up with: "If you want me to leave, then show me how to run the club and invest the money before I do that. You have no right to ask me to leave."The truth is Chansiri, like every other chairman, is a custodian, as much as he doesn't like that description. He owes it to the fans, staff and players to front up and explain what is happening. Will wages be paid on time and in full for June? How does he plan to keep things going financially? Is he prepared now to sell the club and, if so, what are his demands?That final question might be the most important one. A piece in the Sheffield Star at the end of last week quoted an anonymous intermediary who said: "What's been especially difficult is that I've had positive conversations with people that, at a reasonable valuation, would like to proceed."But for whatever reason, the representation from the club - be that the chairman or advisors - have got a figure in their head of double and beyond that realistic number."Is this true? And if so, why?On Tuesday night, we're doing a special programme on the future of Sheffield Wednesday which will be broadcast on the BBC Sport website. When we asked fans who they wanted to hear from, the overwhelming majority said the also said they don't want to hear anything from the chairman other than he's off and he's sold the club. I get that. Yet while that remains not the case, isn't it time to say something?The request has been made for the chairman to do an interview before Tuesday's time, there shouldn't be bravado. Simply humility and a willingness to do what is go back to that statement in 2023: "I may not have been born here and I will probably not die here but one thing I can say is that I will always try to do my best for Wednesday."What is best for Wednesday right now? Explaining the situation, providing clarity and - according to many fans - finding a buyer and selling at a reasonable price. If that isn't possible, tell us why. You will be able to watch BBC Radio Sheffield's Football Heaven special on Tuesday here.
