Exactly one year ago, on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan fought at Karate Combat 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 promotions, not counting MMA. Only 4 of his 10 matches went to decision, with notable submission victories over Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. League RAF has grown significantly alongside Tsarukyan and wants him at every event, with two matches already scheduled just two weeks apart. His social media presence has also exploded over the year: follower count doubled, Telegram channel grew from zero to over 100,000 subscribers, vlogs accumulated over 5 million views total, and short-form videos regularly reaching several million views each.
