Arman Tsarukyan Says Ilia Topuria Would Be Exposed in Dagestan Gyms

Tsarukyan dismissed champion Topuria’s hype, criticizing his training practices. “He brings in some random sparring partners, drops them, and everyone thinks he’s so great,” he said. The #1 lightweight contender argued that Topuria wouldn’t last in the Caucasus. “If we send him to any gym in Chechnya or Dagestan, amateurs there will be taking him down and smashing him.”
