Tsarukyan wants to fight Topuria and kick him out of UFC; Merab dislikes Umar

In a series of fighter statements, Arman Tsarukyan said he wants to fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," adding that his goal is at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili stated he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he simply doesn't like, while emphasizing healthy competition between fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded to Tsarukyan with harsh criticism, calling him stupid and stating he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Additional notes mention Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski bout, predictions about Chimaev versus O'Malley, and Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett.
