Tsarukyan dismisses Topuria's claim he could submit Makhachev

Arman Tsarukyan ridiculed Ilia Topuria's stated intention to submit Islam Makhachev, declaring that even Khabib Nurmagomedov could not have accomplished such a feat. The comment suggests Tsarukyan believes Topuria is overestimating his grappling abilities against the dominant lightweight champion. This statement reflects skepticism about Topuria's chances in a potential matchup with Makhachev. Tsarukyan's invocation of Khabib Nurmagomedov underscores the difficulty of submitting elite Dagestani grapplers. The post does not indicate whether Topuria has responded to this dismissal.
