Tsarukyan vows to defeat Topuria; Topuria fires back with insults

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to pull out so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," vowing to continue until he has at least five title defenses. Topuria responded harshly, calling Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and a "fucking child" who spends his father's money, not his own. Topuria claimed he would break Tsarukyan's jaw in the first round if they meet. The post also notes that Merab Dvalishvili has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, and emphasizes healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan.
