Tsarukyan vows 5 title defenses, Topuria calls Arman 'incredibly stupid'

Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like Justin Gaethje to pull out so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," adding he won't stop 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, and promised to break his jaw in the first round if they meet. 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 post also mentions Benoit Saint-Denis announced a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef on social media, and that Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Bartosz Baraniewski.
