It’s protected to say there’s bad blood involved in the newest Real American Freestyle major event.
Arman Tsarukyan will face Georgio Poullas at RAF07, because the two rivals run back their heated clash from earlier this 12 months.
After that match resulted in a brawl, there’s now significant animosity between the pair. That was on display at Friday’s press conference, where they traded barbs. But one specific comment from Poullas could have crossed the road.
“You give me a date together with your girlfriend Nina (Drama) and I’ll offer you the $10k,” Poullas said when Tsarukyan continued to remind his opponent of their bet that went unpaid after the UFC star’s win at RAF06.

Nina Drama confronts Georgio Poullas after being mentioned in his Arman Tsarukyan trash talk
Tsarukyan furiously responded to Poullas, slamming the American for getting personal along with his words ahead of Saturday’s major event.
“My girlfriend? Guys, you never ask about family,” Tsarukyan said. “Don’t ask about family, mothers, sisters, and girls too. If someone gonna discuss that, you’re going to be dead.
“I don’t care if that is RAF or UFC belt. In case you’re gonna touch my family, you’re going to be dead and also you too, shut your mouth and be respectful for the ladies, okay? You possibly can discuss me but not my friends,” he added.
And Tsarukyan was not the just one holding Poullas accountable.
After he exited the stage at the top of the press conference, the freestyle wrestler was also confronted by Nina Drama herself.
“What was that? It was a sh—- promo, respectfully. It was disrespectful. The part where you mentioned me up there, it was disrespectful,” she said, with the confrontation being broadcast on her Kick stream.
“You were nice within the lobby, and I took an image,” she continued. “I used to be attempting to be really respectful, but I didn’t like that s—. I didn’t prefer it.”
Poullas apologized throughout the interaction, insisting he didn’t intend to offend the streamer and media personality.

Tsarukyan vs Poullas 2 isn’t the one match RAF security will must be alert for
After what transpired at RAF06, security was increased for Tsarukyan vs Poullas 2 on March 28.

The pair almost got here to blows on the RAF07 press conference, and lots of predict something similar once they share the mats on the Yuengling Center of the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Kyle Dake, Wyatt Hendrickson, and Pat Downey can even be in motion on the newest Real American Freestyle card.
