Tsarukyan targets Topuria: 'I want to throw him out of UFC'

Arman Tsarukyan stated he would like Gaethje to withdraw so he could fight Ilia Topuria and 'throw him out of UFC,' calling it his goal. Tsarukyan also declared he won't stop until he has at least five UFC title defenses. In response, Topuria fired back with harsh words, calling Tsarukyan stupid and saying he would break his jaw in the first round if they fought. Merab Dvalishvili commented that he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, stating most regions have healthy competition. Additionally, Benoit Saint-Denis appears to have announced a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting a roast beef image on social media, while Bogdan Guskov declined a bout with Baranyevski.
