“I absolutely love Paddy Pimblett. Now, Justin Gaethje and I go a little bit further back... but Paddy Pimblett, he is a master orator, right? I get paid to talk; he's a better talker than me, right? Conor McGregor is the guy that, I think, all talkers will be judged by. You can ask Paddy Pimblett any question, and you're getting an authentic, thoughtful, and comedic response that is magnetic and dynamic. I'm all about the guy. I don't want to hear anything about his candidacy here. He's 7—0 in the UFC and 3/1 favorite to beat Justin... The kid's done everything in the right way”

– via Spinning Back Fist MMA , defending the legitimacy of the UFC 324 main event and praising the rising stardom of Paddy Pimblett.

“Regarding the fight between Ilia and Islam Makhachev... Once again, I've become convinced that Ilia is a phenomenal athlete. I've never felt that kind of power or that level of technique from anyone else. I've sparred with fighters two weight classes above, even three weight classes above. Whether it's jiu—jitsu, wrestling, everything, that kind of uniqueness, the feeling I get with Ilia, I haven't felt with anyone else. He has a very big chance against Islam Makhachev... I would even give a higher percentage to Ilia, even if the fight takes place at welterweight”

– via Championship Rounds (January 15, 2026), providing an inside look at the training and technical evolution of Countrymen, Ilia Topuria.

“If he just went into MMA right out of his college career, I think he could have been one of the all time great. He didn't train much in striking at all, and striking takes a long time to master. He didn't need the money, didn't need to do it, and he was already a giant pro wrestling star. He beat Randy Couture, who's an all time great, and he beat Frank Mir, who's an all time great. He's a freak athlete. He's horrific”

– via The Joe Rogan Experience #2439 (January 15, 2026), reminiscing with guest Johnny Knoxville about the raw physical power of "The Beast Incarnate.

“Obviously, the most worthy contender is Nassourdine Imavov, that's the fight that needs to happen. He [Chimaev] needs to see if he can get through that test before we can start talking about him being unbeatable”

– via Submission Radio giving a technical breakdown on how to stop the newly crowned middleweight champion, Khamzat Chimaev.

“I'm blessed for the opportunity against one of the greatest middleweights of all time,Little Joey P is on his way.”

– via X reacted to to the news that he will headline UFC Seattle against Israel Adesanya

“I think he would do very well at light heavyweight. His wrestling in a division very low on great wrestling, I think he would do very good there as well”

– ia Submission Radio (January 2026), sharing a "brutally honest" take on Khamzat Chimaev's potential in the 205—pound division.

“I don't see anyone beating Ilia Topuria. Not Paddy, not Justin. Arman Tsarukyan is the dark horse... but by the end of 2026, Topuria will still be the champ”

– via his YouTube channel (January 9, 2026), predicting that the "El Matador" era will endure despite a chaotic lightweight landscape and the emergence of an interim champion

“Khamzat could win at any weight. I'd like to see him at light heavyweight”
