Quick read
Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw from his upcoming bout so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," which he claims is his goal. Tsarukyan also declared he will only stop competing once he has achieved a minimum of five UFC title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded by calling Tsarukyan extremely stupid and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Additional news included Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett and Bogdan Guskov declining a fight with a Polish opponent.
