Topuria calls Tsarukyan a 'complete idiot,' vows to break his jaw in first round

Ilia Topuria unleashed a harsh verbal attack on Arman Tsarukyan, calling him stupid and saying he will break his jaw in the first round if they meet. Tsarukyan responded that he wants to fight Topuria and throw him out of the UFC, and that he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov. Meanwhile, Benoit Saint-Denis announced a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef on social media. Demetrious Johnson predicted Khamzat Chimaev would confidently defeat Sean O'Malley, and Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Ivo Baraniewski.
