In a roundup of fighter statements, Arman Tsarukyan said he hopes Diego Lopes pulls out so he can 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 stated he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, emphasizing that fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan are hardworking and friendly in healthy competition. Topuria, who updated his chest tattoo, called Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and a "complete idiot," dismissing him as irrelevant and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round. The post also mentions Tsarukyan discussed a potential Volkanovski fight, Demetrious Johnson predicted Chimaev over O'Malley, Benoit Saint-Denis announced a Pimblett fight, and Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Baranyewski.
