Overview
- Arman Tsarukyan outscored Georgio Poullas 9–3 at RAF 7 in Tampa on Saturday, sealing the win with a late four‑point throw.
- RAF tightened security after February’s post‑match melee, and the rematch stayed orderly as the rivals shared respect at the finish.
- The buildup turned personal Friday when Poullas mentioned Tsarukyan’s girlfriend, prompting a warning from Tsarukyan and an on‑camera apology to Nina Drama.
- After the victory, Tsarukyan called out Colby Covington for a RAF match, though Covington says UFC executive Hunter Campbell has barred him from facing active UFC fighters outside the promotion.
- Tsarukyan said he is the designated backup for the Topuria vs. Gaethje title fight on June 14 and plans to stay ready if he is needed.
