Arman Tsarukyan says he wants to fight Topuria if Gaethje pulls out

Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like to fight Ilia Topuria and 'kick him out of the UFC' if Justin Gaethje withdraws from their upcoming bout. Tsarukyan also declared he will only stop when he has at least five UFC title defenses. In related comments, Merab Dvalishvili said he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomadov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded by calling Tsarukyan 'incredibly stupid' and threatening to break his jaw in the first round. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions and potential future matchups in the lightweight and featherweight divisions.
