In a shocking declaration, Ilia Topuria says he’d rather vacate his UFC title than defend it against Arman Tsarukyan. The undefeated champion refuses to acknowledge Arman as a worthy challenger, making it clear he wants no part of that matchup — even if it means giving up the
I don’t expect you to understand @MikeChandlerMMA. We are not on the same level. I am here to be the champ. You are just waiting for a paycheck. I also don’t understand why you waited Conor fight for 2 years, you could’ve lost 4 exciting fights during that time
That’s just not truth. The truth is that you want to fight me on short notice to have an extra advantage. It won’t happen again though. When was the last time you fought 2 times in 6 weeks? @MAKHACHEVMMA
Islam Makhachev is not surprised that Arman Tsarukyan turned down to fight him at #UFC302 🤷♂️
“I’m not surprised [Arman turned it down]. Because this guy talks about rematch all his life, but… this maybe 3rd or 4th time UFC gave him a chance to fight with me and he said no.
Islam has a great quote at the UFC PI, he will fight anybody, anytime, and anywhere - Hey Dana maybe now’s a good time to put a quote in the bathroom for Ilia reminding him not to sit down while pissing - thanks boss 🤝🏾
says the guy who got the easiest path to the top in ufc just because he’s got a funny accent and budget beatles haircut. I dare you to call me out if you win and we will see who will shit his pants in the octagon when we meet clown @PaddyTheBaddy
Paddy Pimblett goes OFF on Arman Tsarukyan 😳
“He’s just a little posh boy who’s had everything handed to him… he’s a little b*tch ass…
Arman, you sh*t your pants. You farted and followed through.”

Running from the real contender only proves one thing - you’re scared. Deep down, you know exactly what happens if you ever step in there with me @Topuriailia
Ilia Topuria says Arman Tsarukyan ‘looked scared’ after he saw him KO Charles Oliviera 😭
“He was like ‘I was going to be the replacement for this fight, thank God nothing happened to Charles because this could’ve been me.’”
🎥 @CCLegaspi
You better pray nothing happens to Charles, because I’m the worst possible matchup for you in this division. There’s a reason you’re fighting the guy I already beat, and not me, for that belt.
Ilia Topuria says Arman Tsarukyan made a mistake accepting to be the backup fighter for his fight against Charles 😳
“With me, [Arman] has no chances. First round, first minute, what’s he gonna do? Go for the takedowns. Bro, come on.”

🚨 Per Ali Abdelaziz, Justin Gaethje could retire from MMA if he does not get the next shot for the lightweight belt.
“He [Justin] said, ‘If I’m not going to fight for the title, I’m just gonna hang up my gloves. I love the UFC, but I feel the UFC has to love me back.’”

You’re a nobody, a trash can at most. Daddy Dana fed you a couple senior citizens to build your hype. That’s all you are, hype. I earned everything in my career, nothing was handed to me you bum. Now sit your goofy ass down and wait until Daddy tells you what to do
Paddy Pimblett is hoping to leapfrog Arman Tsarukyan into title contention.
"I'm hoping that gets sorted, but I understand that I am like ranked 9 or something. So, other people probably are more deserving, but 'posh boy' definitely isn't – little rich boy Arman."
