Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to drop out so he can fight Ilia Topuria and "throw him out of the UFC," calling it his goal. He also said he will only stop when he has at least five UFC title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, saying he simply doesn't like that one person, while noting that fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan are all hardworking and friends, engaging in healthy competition. A heavily tattooed Topuria responded harshly to Tsarukyan, calling him extremely stupid and saying if they meet in the octagon, he will break his jaw in the first round. Tsarukyan discussed a potential Volkanovski fight and outlined prospects for Khamzat Chimaev. Demetrious Johnson predicted a confident Chimaev victory over Sean Strickland, while Benoit Saint-Denis announced a fight with Pimblett by posting a picture of roast beef on social media. Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Baranyevski.
