Tsarukyan targets Topuria, wants 5 title defenses; Topuria fires back with insults

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants to fight and remove Ilia Topuria from the UFC if Justin Gaethje's bout falls through, and vowed not to stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among athletes from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan's comments, calling him unintelligent and threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they meet in the octagon. The post also mentions Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski bout and Chimaev's prospects, Demetrious Johnson predicting a decisive Chimaev win over Sean, Benoit Saint-Denis teasing a Pimblett fight, and Bogdan Guskov declining a bout with Baranievsky.
