Arman Tsarukyan has expressed his desire to fight Ilia Topuria and remove him from the UFC, calling it his main goal.

Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomadov, emphasizing healthy competition between fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan.
