Quick read
This post compiles several fighter statements. Arman Tsarukyan said he wants Justin Gaethje to miss weight so he can fight and "kick out" Ilia Topuria from UFC, stating he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili stated he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, while emphasizing healthy competition among Armenian, Georgian, Chechen, and Dagestani fighters.
