Ilia Topuria harshly criticized Arman Tsarukyan in a recent interview, targeting his behavior and perceived wealth. Topuria stated he dislikes when people flaunt money in others' faces, particularly calling out Tsarukyan for allegedly spending his father's money rather than his own. The featherweight champion called Tsarukyan poor and referred to him as a child. This marks an escalation in tensions between the two fighters. The comments suggest personal animosity beyond typical promotional trash talk.
