Arman Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Merab discusses Dagestan, updates from multiple fighters

Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like Justin Gaethje to pull out so he could fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," adding he will only stop when he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili said he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, and emphasized healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria called Tsarukyan "incredibly stupid" and claimed he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought, also mocking Tsarukyan's wealth. Additional brief updates included Tsarukyan discussing a potential Volkanovski fight, predictions for Chimaev vs O'Malley, Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Paddy Pimblett, and Bogdan Guskov declining a bout with Baranyevski.
