Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Dvalishvili comments on Dagestani fighters

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," emphasizing this is his goal. The lightweight contender also declared he won't stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes. Dvalishvili emphasized healthy competition exists between fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him unintelligent and predicting he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. The post also mentions Tsarukyan discussed a potential bout with Volkanovski and outlined prospects for Khamzat Chimaev.
