Arman Tsarukyan wants to fight Topuria if Gaethje withdraws, Merab comments on Dagestani fighters

Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he could fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," which he called his goal. Tsarukyan also said he will only stop when he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, while emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded by calling Tsarukyan unintelligent and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. The post also mentions Tsarukyan discussing a potential fight with Volkanovski and Dvalishvili's perspectives on various matchups. Additionally, Benoit Saint-Denis appeared to announce a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef (an English dish) on social media, and Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with an opponent named Baranievski.
