Ilia Topuria recently attacked Arman Tsarukyan . Ilia had already gotten into a fight with Makhachev and Khabib not long ago . In a video posted on the 'Championship Rounds' profile of X, formerly Twitter, Topuria appears criticizing Tsarukyan's behavior in the UFC.

“He (Arman) had the chance to fight for the title and he gave it up. Maybe he needed to change his underwear after making that decision… What he doesn’t understand is that people are investing money to promote him.”

So, when you see someone who supports you, someone you invest money in, and that person reciprocates that investment... would you continue supporting that person?

"That's exactly what (the UFC) is doing. They sat down at the table and you know what they said? 'Screw Arman.' So, Arman, go f*#@$% yourself," Ilia Topuria exclaimed in the video.
