UFC number-two-ranked lightweight Arman Tsarukyan (23-3) is keeping himself busy outside the UFC, adding a second wrestling appearance in as many weeks.
Tsarukyan will face former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (26-11) at RAF 10 on June 13. The bout comes just two weeks after Tsarukyan is set to take on wrestler Mugzy at RAF 9 on May 30. Tsarukyan will then have competed for RAF six times in six months.
Despite his busy wrestling schedule, Tsarukyan remains firmly in the UFC lightweight title picture. He sits at number two in the divisional rankings behind champion Ilia Topuria, and most recently picked up a win over Dan Hooker in November last year.
Meanwhile, Ferguson makes his RAF debut. His UFC career ended in August 2024 with a loss to Michael Chiesa — his eighth consecutive defeat — but he has since rebuilt with two wins in the Misfits Boxing ring, defeating Warren Spencer and Salt Papi in 2025.
