In Alaska there is a rule against running as a third-party candidate if you lose the primary, but the RINO got around that by running and winning as a write-in.
The law in AZ is he can’t run as an Indy if he loses the GOP Primary, but he can run for the Primary from more than one party. IOW, he can put himself on the GOP and Green Party, and if he wins the Green while losing the GOP, he can be on the General Election ballot as a Green.
I don’t know if running a write-in campaign is possible in AZ like it was in AK.

Many thanks for the info....personally, I suspect he’s blustering..his ego couldn’t stand his losing an election..let alone a primary. As I wrote, I think it’s all about his putting down a marker for a committee chair he wants
