Tsarukyan targets Topuria, vows minimum five title defenses if he wins belt

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," calling it his goal. Tsarukyan also declared he will not stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Additionally, Topuria, who recently updated his chest tattoo, called Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and claimed he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. The post also mentions fight announcements involving Benoit Saint-Denis and Paddy Pimblatt, and that Bogdan Guskov declined a bout with Baranyevski.
