Arman Tsarukyan calls Topuria 'dumb,' vows to break his jaw in potential fight

Arman Tsarukyan has launched a scathing verbal attack on Ilia Topuria, calling the featherweight champion 'incredibly stupid' and a 'complete idiot.' Tsarukyan stated he would break Topuria's jaw in the first round if they meet in the octagon and expressed a desire for Justin Gaethje to drop out so he could fight and 'kick Topuria out of the UFC.' The lightweight contender also claimed everything he's seen about Topuria online is 'complete cringe' and dismissed him as 'just a f***ing child' who spends his father's money rather than his own. Tsarukyan declared that Topuria 'is not on my level' and said he will only stop competing after achieving at least five UFC title defenses. Separately, Tsarukyan discussed a potential fight with Alexander Volkanovski. Additional news in the digest included Merab Dvalishvili stating he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, and Benoit Saint-Denis suggesting a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting a roast beef image (an English dish).
