Arman Tsarukyan eyes Topuria matchup and predicts five title defenses

Lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has expressed his desire for Justin Gaethje to pull out so he can fight Ilia Topuria, claiming he would "kick him out of the UFC." Tsarukyan stated he won't stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, 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 if they fight. The post also mentions Benoit Saint-Denis posting a roast beef photo (an English dish), apparently calling out Paddy Pimblett. Additional notes include Demetrious Johnson predicting Khamzat Chimaev would defeat Sean Strickland, and Bogdan Guskov declining a fight with Baraniewicz.
