Arman Tsarukyan calls out Topuria, Merab discusses Dagestanis

In a series of statements, Arman Tsarukyan said he wants Justin Gaethje to pull out so he can fight Ilia Topuria and remove him from the UFC, stating this is his goal. Tsarukyan also declared he won't stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili addressed relations with Dagestani fighters, saying he has no problems except with Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, while noting that Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya and Dagestan all have hardworking people in healthy competition. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him stupid and making disparaging remarks. The post also mentioned Bogdan Guskov declining a fight with Baranyevsky and other fighter news.
