Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to pull out of his scheduled bout so he can fight Ilia Topuria instead, declaring his goal is to kick Topuria out of the UFC. Tsarukyan also vowed he won't stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. Topuria responded by calling Tsarukyan unintelligent and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they ever meet in the octagon. Topuria also mentioned he recently updated his chest tattoo. The callout represents an escalation in tensions between the two fighters, who compete in different weight classes.
