Arman, Merab, and Topuria exchange verbal jabs in recent interviews

Multiple UFC champions and contenders have been exchanging heated words in recent media appearances. Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants to fight Topuria and kick him out of the UFC, and won't stop until he has five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili said he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he specifically dislikes. Ilia Topuria called Tsarukyan an idiot and claimed he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Additionally, Benoit Saint-Denis apparently called out Paddy Pimblett by posting a photo of roast beef (an English dish), and Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Baraniewski.
