Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Dvalishvili discusses Dagestan relations, Topuria fires back

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to pull 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 said he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan's comments, calling him "incredibly stupid" and predicting he would break his jaw in the first round. Additional updates include Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski fight, Demetrious Johnson predicting Chimaev over O'Malley, and Benoit Saint-Denis posting roast beef to signal a fight with Paddy Pimblett. Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Baranyewski.
