Perhaps Arman Tsarukyan’s post-wrestling match brawl at RAF 06 won’t hurt his chance of getting a UFC title shot. This past weekend, Tsarukyan returned to the mats under the Real American Freestyle banner and took on Georgio Poullas.Their contest turned ugly as Poullas, instead of wrestling, was busy landing hand strikes, slapping Tsarukyan, and eye-poking the Armenian.In Round 3, Tsarukyan, who was up in the scorecards (5-3), stuffed a takedown in the last seconds. When the final buzzer sounded, the UFC fighter pushed his opponent down and punched him in the face, after which both corners entered the mat area and started a full-blown melee.
Best thing to happen to RAF. Rematch would be absolutely huge.pic.twitter.com/GVmuqSmnBK
This is not the first time “Ahalkalakets” has done something like this. He previously punched a fan atUFC 300and headbutted Dan Booker last year, which are among the reasons he didn’t get a title shot in 2026, something he desperately wanted and deserved, being the top lightweight contender.
The RAF 06 wild brawl does not seem to concernDana White, and his comments suggest it won’t affect Arman Tsarukyan’s relationship with the UFC or make them view him as unreliable or dangerous.At the UFC 326 pre-fight press conference, White was asked to share his thoughts on the same. He quipped:
“I don’t give a sh*t about any of that stuff. I focus on my own stuff. That’s somebody else’s problem, not mine.”

Meanwhile,Charles Oliveiraand Max Holloway, who will run it back at UFC 326, also joked about the RAF 06 brawl during the presser. The Brazilian said:
“Listen. I’m worried about myself. Who needs to be worried about Tsarukyan is Dana.”
Holloway seconded Oliveira’s comments, adding:
