Arman Tsarukyan expressed desire for Justin Gaethje to drop out so he could fight and 'kick Topuria out of the UFC,' stating 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, saying he simply dislikes that specific fighter while maintaining friendly competition with athletes from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Ilia Topuria, who updated his chest tattoo, launched harsh criticism at Tsarukyan, calling him extremely stupid and claiming he would break his jaw in the first round, also suggesting Arman spends his father's money. Tsarukyan discussed a potential bout with Alexander Volkanovski and outlined near-term prospects for Chimaev. Demetrious Johnson predicted a confident victory for Khamzat over Sean Strickland. Benoit Saint-Denis teased a fight with Pimblett by posting roast beef (an English dish) on social media. Bogdan Guskov declined a bout with Marcin Prachnio.
