Tsarukyan blasts Topuria's training, predicts easy wins over both Topuria and Gaethje

Arman Tsarukyan sharply criticized Ilia Topuria's preparation following the Georgian's loss to Justin Gaethje, claiming Topuria no longer trains with quality wrestlers or fighters and has been doing little more than watching Canelo Alvarez footage and hitting mitts. Tsarukyan said that had Islam Makhachev faced this version of Topuria, he would have submitted him in the first round. He predicted he would defeat both Topuria and Gaethje clearly, citing his footwork, distance management, kicking game, and wrestling as advantages over both men.
