Arman Tsarukyan made a provocative and bizarre comment about Ilia Topuria, stating the featherweight champion is "not a man" because, as Tsarukyan claims, "he shaves his backside and I don't." The remark appears to be part of ongoing verbal sparring between the two fighters, touching on personal grooming choices in an unusual angle of trash talk. While the comment is clearly meant to belittle Topuria, it comes across as more absurd than substantive. The post does not indicate whether this was said in an interview or simply posted on social media. Such personal jabs are typical of the pre-fight or callout atmosphere in MMA.
