Arman Tsarukyan marks one year of cross-promotion competition spree

Exactly one year ago on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan competed in Karate Combat against Makkasharip Zainukov, which seemed like a one-off appearance. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed nine more times across different rulesets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling in four different promotions, not counting MMA. Only four of his ten bouts went to decision, with submission victories over tough opponents like Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. The RAF league has grown significantly alongside Tsarukyan and now wants him at every event, with two matches already scheduled just two weeks apart. His social media presence has exploded over the year, doubling his followers, launching a Telegram channel that reached 100,000+ subscribers from zero, and producing vlogs that have collectively garnered over 5 million views plus daily short videos earning millions of views each.
