Exactly one year ago, on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan competed in Karate Combat against Makkasharip Zainukov. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed 9 more times across various rulesets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling, not including MMA, across four different promotions. Only 4 of his 10 matches went to decision, with finishes over opponents including Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. The RAF league has grown significantly with Tsarukyan's involvement and now wants him at every event, scheduling two fights just two weeks apart. His social media has doubled in followers over the year, with a Telegram channel growing from zero to over 100,000 subscribers, vlogs accumulating over 5 million total views, and short clips regularly reaching several million views each.
