In a series of statements, several fighters have traded verbal jabs and outlined their ambitions. Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to pull out so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "kick him out of the UFC," adding he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among Caucasian fighters. Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him "incredibly stupid" and threatening to break his jaw in the first round if they meet. Tsarukyan also discussed a potential Volkanovski bout and Chimaev's prospects. Benoit Saint-Denis hinted at a Paddy Pimblett matchup by posting roast beef on social media, while Bogdan Guskov declined a bout with an unnamed opponent.
