Arman Tsarukyan targets Topuria, Merab addresses Dagestani fighters, updates

Arman Tsarukyan stated he wants Justin Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight Ilia Topuria and remove him from the UFC, adding he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no problems with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, emphasizing healthy competition among fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria responded aggressively to Tsarukyan, calling him unintelligent and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round. Additional updates include Demetrious Johnson predicting Khamzat Chimaev over Sean Strickland, Benoit Saint-Denis announcing a fight with Pimblett, and Bogdan Guskov declining a bout with Baranyevski.
