UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has claimed that lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan would panic if they were to face each other, drawing a comparison to Movsar Evloev's performance at UFC 333.
Topuria, speaking to NY Fights, suggested that Tsarukyan would react similarly to Evloev, who reportedly struggled under pressure at the November event.
The Georgian-Spanish fighter did not specify when or if a bout with Tsarukyan is being negotiated, but his comments add to ongoing speculation about potential cross-division matchups.
