Arman Tsarukyan Completes Remarkable Year with 10 Non-MMA Bouts Across Formats

Exactly one year ago, on May 2, 2025, Arman Tsarukyan competed in Karate Combat against Makkasharip Zainukov, which seemed like a one-time venture. Since then, Tsarukyan has competed 9 additional times under various rulesets including grappling, submission-only, and freestyle wrestling across four different organizations, not counting MMA. Only 4 of his 10 matches went to decision, with notable submission victories over fighters including Mehdi, Freire, and Henderson. The RAF league has grown significantly alongside Tsarukyan and now wants him at every event, having already scheduled two matches for him just two weeks apart. His social media presence has also exploded with subscriber counts doubling, a Telegram channel growing from zero to over 100,000 subscribers, vlogs accumulating more than 5 million views, and daily short videos earning millions of views including collaborations with Western stars.
