Ilia Topuria Explodes at Arman Tsarukyan Over Title Fight Withdrawal

The lightweight champion tore into the #1-ranked contender for pulling out of his January title fight against Islam Makhachev. He said Tsarukyan “had his chance” and doesn’t understand how promoters invest money in fighters. Topuria claimed the UFC stopped backing him, saying, "They said, f*ck Arman." He ended with a blunt message towards Tsarukyan: “From here, go f*ck yourself.”
