Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan just can’t keep his hands to himself.
Tsarukyan, who has been doing everything he can to stay busy outside of the Octagon, was making his return to Real American Freestyle (RAF) wrestling last night (Sat., Feb. 28, 2026) at RAF 06 from inside Mullett Arena at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The No. 2-ranked UFC lightweight contender was matched up against Take Me Down Challenge creator and former collegiate wrestler,
Georgio Poullas.
The two weren’t that friendly leading up to the match — including Tsarukyan trying to pay Poullas to miss weight — and it carried over onto the mat. In fact, Tsarukyan even slapped Poullos at one point and appeared to be furious at how the match was going. In the end, the UFC contender was able to do his thing on the ground and walked away with the win on points.
However, immediately after the match ended Tsarukyan rushed over and tackled Poullos to the canvas. He then landed a punch that caused both teams to rush the mat and mix it up for some extracurricular activity. The chaos eventually subdued, but all in all a poor look for Tsarukyan who just keeps getting in trouble no matter where he goes.
