Ilia Topuria heard Arman Tsarykyan\u2019s callout after UFC Qatar.<\/p>\n
Tsarukyan dominated and submitted Dan Hooker in the main event of Saturday\u2019s UFC Fight Night card in Doha to pick up his fifth straight victory. The 29-year-old immediately turned his attention to Topuria and the lightweight title in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping, and continued that trend during the UFC Qatar post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Topuria responded to Tsarukyan\u2019s callout on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cArman, every time we see each other in person you freeze up like a scared duck with no idea what to do,\u201d Topuria wrote. \u201cYou know I handle you however I want. I fight whoever the UFC chooses. And remember I slapped you and you just laughed, then you go around acting like a gangster. So keep going, you\u2019re on the right path\u2026 just a few levels below me, kid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not long after, Tsarukyan responded to Topuria\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cBro, you touched my neck like we were taking a family photo and now you\u2019re calling it a slap online?,\u201d Tsarukyan wrote on Twitter. \u201cThe clip is clear – your insecurity\u2019s even clearer. I don\u2019t need to act tough for Twitter, my work is inside the cage. If you want to know what a real slap feels like, I\u2019ll be happy to educate you. See you soon, El Pato.\u201d<\/p>\n
