Colby Covington used to beat the snot out of Arman Tsarukyan “all the time” when both combatants were training at American Top Team (ATT) in Coconut Creek, Florida.
But Covington was given his walking papers after poisoning the “Sunshine State” well, most famously in his beefs with fellow UFC fighters (and ATT teammates) Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvidal.
That hasn’t stopped him from snitching on smaller ATT standouts like Tsarukyan.
“That’s a guy I used to beat up all the time at ATT, a little understudy
who came to train just to get beaten by me in the gym,” Covington told Ariel Helwani. “He’s someone I want to expose to the world and take down on the RAF mats, but the UFC is blocking that right now.”
Both Covington (17-5) and Tsarukyan (23-3) are moonlighting as RAF wrestlers in between UFC fights.
“Chaos” collides with fellow combat sports goofball Dillon Danis, while “Ahalkalakets” rematches celebrity wrestler Georgio Poullas. The action takes place this Sat. night (March 28, 2026) on FOX Nation at Yuengling Center of University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida.
