Overview
- Arman Tsarukyan defeated Tony Ferguson by technical fall, 10-0, in the co-main event at RAF 10 in St. Louis on Saturday night.
- Tsarukyan earned the quick win with two high-amplitude lifts and back points that produced a 6-0 lead and then a second slam to trigger the tech fall.
- After the match Tsarukyan threw one of his wrestling shoes into the crowd, called a future bout with Colby Covington “the easiest money,” and then faced off with Covington in the arena.
- RAF has promoted Tsarukyan vs. Covington for a July 18 Milwaukee card but outlets differ on whether that show is numbered RAF 11 or RAF 12 and Tsarukyan’s overlapping bookings and UFC standby status create potential availability questions.
- The sequence underscores RAF’s strategy of stacking recognizable MMA and wrestling names to build mainstream interest and positions Tsarukyan as the promotion’s top draw while raising logistics and matchup credibility as the next issues to watch.
