If another brawl breaks out on the wrestling mats this Saturday at RAF 7 with new rival Georgio Poullas, Arman Tsarukyan believes things will go very, very bad for his opponent.
The two run it back in the main event of Saturday’s RAF event in Tampa. In their first meeting at RAF 6, Tsarukyan defeated Poullas via points, and then punched Poullas after numerous cupping moments throughout the chippy match.
Speaking with Chael Sonnen on a matchup preview, Tsarukyan says he has no concerns whatsoever with another
brawl breaking out.
“If he was a man, I would have [problem] with him,” Tsarukyan said on FOX Nation. “With these guys, I’m never going to have a problem because he’s not man of his words, first of all. And second one, you can do something to him and he can cancel the fight, say, ‘Oh, I break my hand, I want to go this, I want to sue you,’ because he is kind of a tricky guy and you got to be careful.
“He’s like a rat.”
Poullas has said on social media and other interviews that he would be interested in actually fighting Tsarukyan, even saying he would be open to contacting Dana White in order for it to happen in the UFC.
Tsarukyan obviously scoffs at that idea. When asked if the rivalry and bitterness with Poullas would end right there and then. The top UFC lightweight contender makes no promises.
“We’ll see what happens,” Tsarukyan said. “You never know, but I’m in UFC [and] for me it’s bad to fight somewhere and somebody, especially with wrestlers. They don’t know how to fight, so I can break his arms, I don’t know, [his] head. It’s dangerous because we know how to use our hands, elbows, kicks.
“It could be dangerous for him.”
