Arman Tsarukyan targets Topuria, says he would 'kick him out of UFC'

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," declaring this as his primary goal. Tsarukyan added that he will only stop competing once he has defended the UFC title at least five times. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. In response, Topuria, who recently updated his chest tattoo, called Tsarukyan extremely unintelligent and claimed he would break his jaw in the first round if they met in the octagon. Additional brief notes mention Arman discussing a potential Volkanovski bout, predictions for Chimaev versus O'Malley, Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a Pimblett fight, and Bogdan Guskov declining a bout with Baraniewski.
