Quick read
Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like Justin Gaethje to pull out so he could fight Ilia Topuria and 'kick him out of the UFC,' calling it his goal. The lightweight contender 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, saying there is healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan's comments, calling him stupid and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they fight. Additional reports mention Benoit Saint-Denis potentially facing Paddy Pimblett, and Bogdan Guskov declining a fight with an opponent.
