RAF 9: Arman Tsarukyan calls out Colby Covington after scoring tech fall victory over Mugzy in first period

Arman Tsarukyan dominated Mugzy in under three minutes at RAF 9, posting a commanding 16-5 technical fall victory in the opening period. Though Tsarukyan gave up a surprising four-point throw early, he quickly answered with a slick single-leg takedown followed by consecutive rolls and turns that accumulated points in rapid succession. The victory showcased why the top-ranked UFC lightweight contender has rapidly become the face of Real American Freestyle despite his unexpected place on the wrestling card. Following his win, Tsarukyan called out welterweight title contender Colby Covington, signaling his willingness to test himself against higher-caliber wrestling competition within the growing crossover event space.
