Arman Tsarukyan’s Next Fight Announced

UFC No. 2-ranked lightweight Arman Tsarukyan will face off against wrestler “Mugzy” at Real American Freestyle (RAF 09) on May 30, 2026, at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

Tsarukyan holds a 4-0 record in the promotion. His resume includes technical fall victories over PFL champion Lance Palmer and UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber—the latter occurring earlier this month. Meanwhile, Mugzy proved his mettle by defeating UFC Hall of Famer Clay Guida at RAF 06 on February 28. This bout will be contested at middleweight rather than Arman’s usual weight class of lightweight, allowing Tsarukyan to skip a difficult weight cut as he stays active while waiting for a UFC title shot.
