Unstoppable Arman books latest side quest during UFC limbo, takes on former wrestling champ on Feb. 28

Published:

Arman Tsarukyan is “too dangerous” for the Paramount+ network.

While the promotion figures out what to do with the “angered” UFC lightweight, currently ranked No. 2 at 155 pounds (because of this), “Ahalkalakets” will return to Real American Freestyle (RAF) to battle former Ohio state high school wrestling champion Georgio Poullas on Feb. 28 at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona.

Poullas is perhaps best known for his “take me down, get $1000” wrestling challenges on social media.

The 29 year-old Tsarukyan is no stranger to RAF, having scored a dominant win over PFL veteran and collegiate wrestling standout Lance Palmer just a few weeks back. The Feb. 28 card will be headlined by the wrestling showdown pitting Henry Cejudo against fellow UFC star Urijah Faber.

“We set out to build something wrestling never had, a true professional home,” said Chad Bronstein, co-founder and CEO of Real American Freestyle. “2025 showed us that the appetite is there. 2026 is about building on that foundation and taking this league to an even bigger level.”

RAF06 will stream exclusively on FOX Nation.
