Paddy Pimblett remains with his claim that he will beat Ilia Topuria when they fight.
The UFC duo has been cut since they collided in a hotel in London three years ago.
Ilia Topuria has claimed that he has had 'The Baddy' since he made his switch to the lightweight division.
They were able to clash well after the former Feederweight champion tries to become a two -weight title holder against Charles Oliveira on UFC 317 on 28 June.

Paddy Pimblett knows how to beat Ilia Topuria
Ilia Topuria has been completely dominant during his 16-0 run as a professional MMA hunter.
The 28-year-old is generally considered one of the best pound-for-pound hunters in the UFC.
Paddy Pimblett, on the other hand, needs a big win to convince much that he is an elite lightweight.
The Englishman believes that he will get that if he is tailored to Topuria later this year.
“I know I would beat him,” Pimblett said during a conversation with Tom Aspinall.
'Funny because I am laughed at it. But I know I defeated him.
“We have already talked about a game plan to beat him. And I know how to beat him.
“Nobody goes for his weaknesses when they fight. Everyone just decides to have a boxing match with him. I am not going outside and have a boxing match with him. I'm going to beat him with my all-round MMA game.”
“Like I said, I know I had beaten him up. And I think I would really hurt him and keep everyone even more, as I like to do.”
Paddy Pimblett focuses on Justin Gaethje
Paddy Pimblett brutalized Michael Chandler on his way to a TKO victory on the third round at UFC 314 in April.
During his speech after the fight, Pimblett called for a fight with everyone in the lightweight top five.
Since then, he has bubbled a potential scrap with former interim champion Justin Gaethje.
“I'm sure if I defeated Gaethje, I am the next one,” Pimblett told UFC on TNT sports.
“It could be (the next one for me), yes. It's just whether he says yes or not, isn't it? He would fight against the ranking again.
“(I would like to fight in Abu Dhabi in October) in October, that pay-per-view, that's when I want to fight, that's when I did and after what I did with Chandler, I think I would finish Justin Gaethje.”
Gaethje is furious after being overlooked for a title shot of 155 pounds when Islam Makhachev left the belt.
It would require a lot of money and a title shot guarantees 'the highlight' to then face Pimblett.
