Tsarukyan Slams UFC Hall Of Famer Off Stage During Wrestling Match Win
UFC’s Number 2 ranked lightweight Arman Tsarukyan extended his unbeaten record in the wrestling promotion, Real American Freestyle (RAF), to 4-0 after dominating the 46-year-old UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber in the RAF 08 headliner this past weekend.
Tsarukyan opened the first period with a takedown and walked back to his corner for the first break holding a massive 8-0 lead. The biggest moment in the fight occurred during the second period. During a drive for a takedown, Tsarukyan’s momentum carried both men completely off the wrestling mat and off the elevated stage, crashing into the announcer area.
Fortunately, both avoided injury and returned to the mat. Tsarukyan showed no signs of slowing down in the third, finishing the match with a double-leg takedown to secure the technical fall victory. During his post-match interview, Tsarukyan spotted former interim UFC welterweight champ Colby Covington (who has a 2-0 RAF record) and wasted no time calling him out as they exchanged words ahead of a potential wrestling match, if the UFC approves of it.
