Tsarukyan wants Topuria fight; Merab discusses Dagestan relations; updates

Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like Justin Gaethje to miss weight so he could fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," adding he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili said he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing that Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan all work hard and maintain healthy competition. Topuria, who updated his chest tattoo, called Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and a "child spending his father's money," threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they meet. Additional news includes Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski bout, Demetrious Johnson predicting Chimaev over O'Malley, Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a Pimblett fight with a roast beef post, and Bogdan Guskov declining a fight with Baraniewski.
