Arman Tsarukyan produces another viral moment in chaotic RAF 08 win

Real American Freestyle, better known as RAF, has taken the wrestling world by storm, and at the forefront of the promotion's surge in popularity is UFC standout Arman Tsarukyan.

RAF pits the very best freestyle wrestlers across the globe against one another, often complete with current and former MMA fighters, influencers, and those who spent their collegiate lives on the wrestling mat. Since its birth on August 30, 2025, the company has managed several viral moments, with legendary athletes being summoned to compete under the RAF banner and post-match brawls breaking out.

There have been some success stories in the RAF's short life, but none more than Arman Tsarukyan. The UFC lightweight cannot stay out of the public eye at the moment, having raised his brand from a relatively unknown fighter outside of combat sports to an internet sensation in a matter of months. A large part of his rise to fame is his controversial moments under the RAF banner, and he provided another viral hit once again this weekend.

After a successful three-fight stint, Tsarukyan would take on MMA veteran Urijah Faber. Many expected the Armenian to make light work of the uber-talented but past-his-prime Faber, and that's what he did.

Tsarukyan asserted his dominance from the start, building an early 8-0 lead and running away with the victory following a series of snap-downs, gut wrenches, and pins.

However, despite the performance, a wild moment in the second period captured the headlines. Tsarukyan overshot on a single-leg takedown, driving both himself and his opponent off the stage and crashing onto the concrete floor.
