Arman Tsarukyan wants Gaethje to withdraw so he can fight and 'kick out' Topuria

Arman Tsarukyan has stated he would like Justin Gaethje to pull out of his scheduled fight so Tsarukyan could face Ilia Topuria and 'kick him out of the UFC,' declaring this as his goal. Tsarukyan also announced his intention to continue fighting until he achieves at least five title defenses in the UFC. Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except for Umar Nurmagomedov, saying he simply dislikes that particular fighter while maintaining healthy competitive relationships with athletes from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. The post also mentions Benoit Saint-Denis posting roast beef imagery, potentially teasing a fight with Paddy Pimblett, and reports that Bogdan Guskov declined a bout with an unnamed opponent. Additional context includes Topuria showing off updated chest tattoos and calling Tsarukyan unintelligent.
