Tsarukyan ridicules Topuria's claim he could submit Makhachev

Arman Tsarukyan has dismissed Ilia Topuria's stated intention to submit Islam Makhachev, claiming that even Khabib Nurmagomedov could not accomplish such a feat. Tsarukyan's comments appear to be a direct response to Topuria's confidence about facing the lightweight champion. The statement underscores the high regard in which Makhachev's grappling skills are held within the sport. Tsarukyan, a top lightweight contender himself, seems skeptical that Topuria could achieve success on the ground against the dominant champion. The exchange adds fuel to ongoing discussions about potential super fights across weight classes.
