Arman Tsarukyan to Face Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 Two Weeks After RAF 09 Booking
The No. 2 UFC lightweight is keeping his profile high with back-to-back Real American Freestyle matches outside the Octagon.
Overview
- Tsarukyan is booked to wrestle Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 on June 13 at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, with the event airing on Fox Nation.
- MMA Fighting confirmed the Ferguson matchup after an initial report by Ariel Helwani, noting it as Tsarukyan’s second RAF booking in quick succession.
- Before RAF 10, Tsarukyan is scheduled to face influencer Keelon Jimison, known as Mugzy, at RAF 09 on May 30 at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.
