Arman Tsarukyan vows to remove Topuria from UFC, targets five title defenses

Arman Tsarukyan has stated that his goal is to fight Ilia Topuria if Justin Gaethje withdraws from their scheduled bout, and that he would "kick Topuria out of the UFC." Tsarukyan also declared he will not stop until he achieves at least five UFC title defenses. In related comments, Merab Dvalishvili clarified that he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he personally dislikes, and emphasized healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded by harshly criticizing Tsarukyan, calling him unintelligent and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Additional updates include Tsarukyan discussing a potential bout with Alexander Volkanovski and outlining prospects for Khamzat Chimaev, as well as announcements of other matchups.
