Arman Tsarukyan marks one-year anniversary 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, which initially seemed like a one-time appearance. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed 9 additional 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. The RAF promotion 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 also exploded over the year: doubling his followers, growing a Telegram channel from zero to over 100,000 subscribers, vlogs accumulating over 5 million views, short videos gaining millions of views, and collaborations with Western stars.
