Arman Tsarukyan marks one-year anniversary of cross-promotion run

Exactly one year ago, on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan began what has become a remarkable multi-promotion campaign by competing at a Karate Combat event against Makkasharip Zaynukov. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed nine additional times across various rulesets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling, not counting MMA bouts, across four different leagues. Only four of his ten total matches went to decision, with notable submission victories over opponents like Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. His involvement has significantly boosted the profile of the RAF league, which now wants him on every event, having already scheduled two fights just two weeks apart. Simultaneously, Tsarukyan has doubled his social media following over the past year, grown a Telegram channel from zero to over 100,000 subscribers, and produced vlogs that have collectively generated more than 5 million views, along with daily short videos reaching millions of views and collaborations with Western stars.
