Arman Tsarukyan marks one year of competing across multiple combat sports

Exactly one year ago, on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan fought at a Karate Combat event against Makkasharip Zainukov. Since then, he has competed nine additional times across various rulesets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling, not counting MMA bouts, across four different promotions. Only four of his ten matches went to decision, with finishes over tough opponents like Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. The RAF league has grown alongside Tsarukyan and now wants him at every event, with two fights already scheduled two weeks apart. His social media presence has also exploded over the year, doubling his follower count, launching a Telegram channel that reached over 100,000 subscribers from zero, producing vlogs that have accumulated over 5 million views, and creating daily short videos that rack up millions of views, plus collaborations with Western stars.
