Ilia Topuria has reacted to Dana White’s newest announcement that high contender Arman Tsarukyan will function backup for the Topuria vs. Gaethje light-weight title unification bout set to go down on June 14 on the White Home.
White confirmed this news earlier this week during a candid chat with Nina-Marie Daniele.
In the meantime, in response, Topuria, who has by no means been a fan of Tsarukyan, trolled the latter for being chosen as a backup for a light-weight title battle but once more. “El Matador” mentioned:
“He’s at all times a backup.”

In one other interview with Carlos Contreras Legaspi, Topuria added that he doesn’t care who he faces on June 14 and is assured that regardless of who the opponent is, the consequence would be the similar.
“I completely don’t care about it. I’m going to be in that octagon it doesn’t matter what occurs… the consequence is identical with everybody.”

Justin Gaethje warns Ilia Topuria
A couple of hours earlier at the presser, present and two-time interim UFC light-weight titleholder Justin Gaethje had a chilling warning for Ilia Topuria. “The Spotlight” vowed to place every thing on the road, promising to throw “missiles” on June 14 and knock out the reigning UFC light-weight champion.
This might very effectively be Gaethje’s final battle if he fails to get his hand raised, however he has no hesitation in risking all of it for an opportunity to seize the undisputed title. He mentioned:
“I’m so able to put it on the road, I don’t give a f*ck if I lose or win. I’m coming in there, and I’m gonna knock this motherf**er out. I will likely be throwing missiles on the White Home garden on June 14. I promise you that.”
