Every time you see me, you freeze like a scared duck: Topuria to Tsarukyan

The UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria has responded to the challenge from title contender Arman Tsarukyan.

“Every time you see me, you freeze like a scared duck, not knowing what to do. You know I can handle you however I want. I will fight whoever the UFC chooses. Don’t forget that I slapped you, and you just laughed. Now you’re pretending to be a gangster. Keep up that spirit; you’re on the right track. But that path is several levels below mine,” Topuria wrote on social media.

It’s worth mentioning that in the main event of UFC 265 held in Doha, Arman Tsarukyan won against the 6th ranked Dan Hooker with a chokehold in the second round, earning the title contender status.
