Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Dvalishvili discusses Nurmagomedov rivalry

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick 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 dislikes, while emphasizing that fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya and Dagestan all work hard and maintain healthy competition. Topuria, who recently updated his chest tattoo, called Tsarukyan incredibly stupid and said if they meet in the octagon, he will break Tsarukyan's jaw in the first round. The post also mentions Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski fight, predictions about Chimaev versus O'Malley, and Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef on social media.
