Tsarukyan wants Gaethje to miss weight so he can fight and remove Topuria from UFC

In a detailed interview summary, Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to miss weight so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," calling this his goal. Tsarukyan also declared he will only stop when he has at least five UFC title defenses. Meanwhile, 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, who updated his chest tattoo, fired back calling Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and "cringe," claiming he's not wealthy and spends his father's money, threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they meet. Additional news included Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett and Bogdan Guskov declining a bout with Baranyevski.
