Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight Ilia Topuria and eliminate him from the UFC, claiming he will only stop after at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili said he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, while emphasizing friendly competition among Armenian, Georgian, Chechen, and Dagestani fighters. Topuria responded by calling Tsarukyan stupid and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Additional news included Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski fight and Khamzat Chimaev's prospects, Demetrious Johnson predicting Chimaev over Sean O'Malley, Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a Paddy Pimblett fight via social media, and Bogdan Guskov declining a fight with Baraniewicz.
