Arman Tsarukyan added another win to his record outside of the UFC, defeating Georgio Poullas at RAF 7. Their match took place at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida.
Tsarukyan Secures Victory in Wrestling Rematch
Tsarukyan and Poullas previously faced off in February at RAF 6, a match that ended chaotically after Tsarukyan landed illegal punches after the final bell. The incident sparked a team-wide brawl. Tsarukyan won the first match by a score of 5-3.
In the rematch at RAF 7, Tsarukyan improved his score, winning 9-3 after three periods. He secured a point in each of the first two periods. Poullas was unable to score during multiple shot-clock sequences.
The final period saw increased action. Poullas scored a takedown, but Tsarukyan landed a four-point throw in the closing seconds to secure the victory.

Saturday’s result marked Tsarukyan’s fourth competition outside of the UFC in 2026. He defeated Lance Palmer in January and Muhammad Mokaev earlier this month.
Colby Covington also competed at RAF 7, defeating Dillon Danis via tech fall, 14-4. Danis initially tied the score at 4-4 in the opening period, but Covington went on a 10-0 run in the second. This advanced Covington’s RAF record to 2-0.
