Tsarukyan targets Topuria: 'I'll throw him out of UFC if Gaethje pulls out'

Arman Tsarukyan has made bold statements about multiple fighters. He expressed hope that Justin Gaethje withdraws so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "throw him out of UFC," which he describes as his goal. Tsarukyan stated he will only stop when he has at least five UFC title defenses. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes. In response, Topuria, who recently updated his chest tattoo, called Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and a "child" who spends his father's money, threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they fight. The post also mentions that Benoit Saint-Denis announced a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef (an English dish) on social media, and that Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Iwo Baraniewski.
