Ilia Topuria has responded to news that Arman Tsarukyan will be the backup fighter for his upcoming bout against Justin Gaethje. The post notes that Tsarukyan previously served as the backup for Topuria's fight against Charles Oliveira in June of the previous year. Details of Topuria's specific reaction were not provided in the post, which appears to reference video content.
