“He Only Fights OLD Guys” - Arman Tsarukyan SLAMS Ilia Topuria’s Title Reign

Toporia is described as a good fighter with a strong mindset and excellent boxing skills. He used to wrestle but found it energy-intensive, so he focused on boxing, now excelling at it. He doesn't kick or wrestle much, primarily relying on his boxing. The speaker believes he has an advantage with strong kicks, allowing him to maintain distance, and if Toporia closes in to box, he can wrestle or clinch him. The speaker suggests Toporia and his team recognize the difficulty of fighting him, preferring opponents like Oliveira or Gaethje, who are seen as being at the end of their careers with "bad chins." The speaker predicts Toporia will win and defend his title, then potentially vacate it to avoid tougher fights. While Toporia publicly states he'd fight Arman, the speaker believes he'd find excuses when the time comes. A potential fight between the speaker and Toporia is seen as a high-grossing matchup due to their fan appeal and aggressive fighting styles. The speaker recalls Toporia saying he would "knock me out" or "wrestle me" and believes he would defend against wrestling and then knock Toporia out. The conversation then shifts to fight matchmaking. The speaker, ranked number two, believes he should fight directly for the belt, not a number one contender, as he is undefeated. He states that the UFC typically offers him only one opponent, not a choice. He once turned down a fight against a lower-ranked opponent when he was number one, feeling he deserved a top-five contender. The speaker believes Dana White is likely not directly involved in offering specific fights, as matchmakers handle that. He thinks White focuses on business, sponsorships, and big deals, and might only approve cards presented to him. He acknowledges White recently stated he's no longer negotiating contracts, leaving that to Hunter and others. The speaker is also a UFC fan and watches fights when he has time.
