If You Want to Know What a Real Slap Is, I’ll Be Happy to Educate You: Tsarukyan to Topuria

Armenian fighter Arman Tsarukyan responded to the current UFC lightweight champion from Spain, Ilia Topuria, who had previously mocked Arman, claiming he "freezes like a scared duck" when they met.

Arman Tsarukyan
Bro, you touched my neck like we were taking a family photo and now you’re calling it a slap online? The clip is clear – your insecurity’s even clearer. I don’t need to act tough for Twitter, my work is inside the cage. If you want to know what a real slap feels like, I’ll be happy to educate you. See you soon, El Pato [“duck” in Spanish]

Tsarukyan last stepped into the Octagon against Dan Hooker on November 22 in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 265 tournament in Doha, Qatar. That fight ended in favor of Arman by submission in the second round. His record stands at 23 wins and three losses.

Topuria last fought against Charles Oliveira in June of this year at UFC 317. In that bout, Ilia won by knockout in the first round and claimed the UFC lightweight championship title. His record stands at 17 wins and zero losses.
