Tsarukyan wants Topuria bout; Merab addresses Dagestani fighters; Topuria fires back

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Diego Lopes to lose so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "throw him out of the UFC," vowing to continue until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him "incredibly stupid" and a "child spending his father's money," threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they meet. Additionally, the post mentions Tsarukyan discussed a potential Volkanovski fight and Chimaev's prospects, Demetrious Johnson predicted Chimaev over O'Malley, Benoit Saint-Denis teased a Pimblett fight on social media, and Bogdan Guskov declined a bout with Baranievski.
