Ilia Topuria harshly criticized Arman Tsarukyan in a recent interview, targeting his behavior and financial status. Topuria stated, "I hate when someone acts like they're rich, flaunting all that money right in people's faces. Brother, you're not even rich. You're so poor that you're spending your father's money. You understand what I'm talking about. A natural child." The comments represent an escalation in tensions between the two fighters. Topuria's remarks suggest potential bad blood that could lead to future matchmaking interest. The featherweight champion did not hold back in his assessment of the lightweight contender.
