Exactly one year ago, on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan fought at a Karate Combat event against Makkasharip Zainukov, which seemed like a one-off appearance. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed 9 more times across various rulesets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling in four different leagues, not counting MMA. Only 4 of his 10 bouts went to decision, with Tsarukyan finishing opponents like Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson by submission. The RAF league has grown significantly alongside Tsarukyan and now wants him at every event, with two bouts already scheduled just two weeks apart. Over the past year, his social media presence has doubled in followers, his Telegram channel grew from zero to over 100,000 subscribers, his vlogs have accumulated more than 5 million views, and his daily short videos garner millions of views while collaborating with Western stars.
