Arman Tsarukyan marks one year since multi-promotion combat sports run began

Exactly one year ago on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan fought at Karate Combat against Makkasharip Zainukov, which appeared to be a one-off event. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed 9 more times across different rule sets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling in four different promotions, not counting MMA. Only 4 of his 10 matches went to decision, with submissions over opponents including Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. The RAF league has grown significantly alongside Tsarukyan and now wants him at every event, scheduling two matches just two weeks apart. His social media presence has doubled in followers over the year, he launched a Telegram channel that reached 100k+ subscribers from zero, and his vlogs have accumulated over 5 million views total with daily short videos reaching millions of views each.
