RAF 10: Arman Tsarukyan slams Tony Ferguson twice before winning tech fall victory

Arman Tsarukyan remained undefeated on the wrestling mats, dominating Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 with two powerful slams en route to a technical fall victory with a final score of 10-0.

Tsarukyan wasted little time establishing control, executing a takedown within the opening moments and quickly following with a body-lock slam that netted four points. Ferguson attempted a single-leg takedown midway through the first period but Tsarukyan defended effectively. In the second period, Tsarukyan secured another body-lock lift and slam for four more points, bringing the match to a 10-0 shutout and triggering a technical fall.

After the bout, Tsarukyan turned his attention to his next opponent, Colby Covington, whom he is scheduled to face at RAF 12 on July 18 in Milwaukee. "[Covington] it's going to be easier than Tony Ferguson. This is the easiest money. I'm going to do 10-0 in the first round," Tsarukyan declared. Covington, a two-time RAF winner with victories over Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman, showed no signs of backing down. "No more cupcake matchups," Covington responded. "I'm going to break him on this mat."

For Tsarukyan, this dominant performance sets up what many consider his toughest test yet against the All-American wrestler Covington in just four weeks.
