Overview
- Tsarukyan beat Georgio Poullas 9–3 in their wrestling rematch on Saturday at RAF 7 in Tampa, pulling away with a late four‑point throw.
- Footage posted Sunday showed Poullas handing over the $10,000 he owed from their first match, and Tsarukyan said the money would go to a sick child.
- Hype FC announced a 10‑minute, submission‑only headliner between Tsarukyan and Dillon Danis for April 8 in São Paulo, though Tsarukyan later said talks were still being finalized.
- Colby Covington claims he dominated Tsarukyan in past training while Tsarukyan flatly denies they wrestled, and any proposed RAF match between them would need UFC permission for two active roster fighters.
- Tsarukyan said Monday he will keep his weight in range to serve as a potential backup for the June 14 UFC lightweight title unification at the White House card.
