Arman Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria trade heated insults over potential matchup

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Max Holloway to lose so he can fight and "kick Topuria out of the UFC," aiming for at least five title defenses. Ilia Topuria responded with harsh criticism, calling Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and promising to "break his jaw in the first round" if they meet. Topuria also mocked Tsarukyan for spending his father's money rather than his own earnings. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. The exchange highlights growing tensions in the featherweight and lightweight divisions.
