Arman Tsarukyan targets Topuria, vows to remove him from UFC

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Ilia Topuria's opponent to miss weight so he can fight Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC." Tsarukyan also said he won't stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except for Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, while stating that fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan are all hardworking and friendly. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him stupid and threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they fight. Additional updates included Arman discussing a potential Volkanovski fight, Demetrious Johnson predicting Chimaev's victory over O'Malley, and Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef on social media.
