Arman Tsarukyan isn't waiting around for his next UFC bout – he's jumping back into the wrestling world! It's exciting to see top-tier talent like Tsarukyan keep their skills sharp outside the octagon, and his upcoming match at RAF 6 promises some serious action.
Fresh off a commanding victory over the highly decorated Lance Palmer at RAF 5, where he secured a dominant 10-0 technical fall, Tsarukyan is set to face a formidable opponent in Georgio Poullas. This bout is scheduled for February 28th and will take place at the Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona.
While Lance Palmer was a renowned wrestler, he hadn't actively competed in the sport for over a decade before RAF's inception. This time, however, Tsarukyan is up against a truly active and dynamic competitor in Poullas. Poullas boasts an impressive resume, including a high school wrestling championship in Ohio before continuing his collegiate career at Cleveland State University and Rider University.
But here's where it gets interesting: Poullas recently went viral for a challenge where he offered $1,000 to anyone who could successfully take him down. This bold move highlights his confidence and his readiness for a grappling battle. He also showcased his prowess at RAF 5, defeating Mugzy with an impressive 11-1 technical fall.
Now, the stage is set for Poullas and Tsarukyan to clash at RAF 6. And this is the part most people miss: the event will be headlined by none other than Henry Cejudo, the former two-division UFC champion and Olympic gold medalist, who will be facing UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber! It's a stacked card, indeed.
Mark your calendars for February 28th to catch RAF 6 live on FOX Nation.
