Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Merab discusses Umar, Ilia responds to Arman

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Gaethje to lose so he can fight and 'kick out' Ilia Topuria from the UFC, vowing not to stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili said 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 saying he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan discussed a possible fight with Volkanovski and outlined prospects for Chimaev, while Demetrious Johnson predicted a confident victory for Chimaev over Sean, and Benoit Saint-Denis announced a fight with Paddy Pimblett via social media.
