Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Merab discusses Dagestani fighters, Topuria fires back

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants to fight Ilia Topuria and "throw him out of the UFC," adding he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili said he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he simply doesn't like, and praised the healthy competition between fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria, who recently updated his chest tattoo, responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him "stupid" and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Additional notes mention Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski fight, Demetrious Johnson predicting Chimaev over O'Malley, and Benoit Saint-Denis apparently announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett.
