Arman Tsarukyan’s routine tech fall win over Urijah Faber at RAF08 almost led to tragedy because the pair tumbled off the stage during battle.

And he has made RAF Wrestling his home with some massive matches including a series of showdowns with Georgio Poullas last month.
Does Arman Tsarukyan deserve his spot in the highest 10, if not, who would you replace him with?🤔
Arman Tsarukyan is currently one of the vital popular fighters on the earth.
After a Hype FC grappling match with Dillon Danis fell through last week, Tsarukyan managed to get matched in a short time against UFC Hall of Famer and former WEC champion Faber. And when Henry Cejudo pulled out hours before the show, his bout was moved to most important event on the last minute.
Arman Tsarukyan vs Urijah Faber RAF08 result
It appeared that the move right into a most important event slot did little quell Arman Tsarukyan’s enthusiasm for tonight’s match. He raced into an 8-0 lead over Urijah Faber with pin after pin, but was held back from a white wash win by a spirited American.
Nevertheless, essentially the most shocking moment got here when Tsarukyan pushed Faber off of the mat and over the stage altogether. The pair ended up flying over the heads of Chael Sonnen and Kurt Angle on the desk, before Tsarukyan ended up landing a tech fall win.
The controversial lightweight is understood for viral moments and controversy almost as much as he’s for being probably the greatest fighters on the planet. But he insists that the harmful moment was an accident in the warmth of battle.
Kurt Angle disagreed with the concept, telling Sonnen on commentary that the stage is considerably larger than the confines of the mat. Tsarukyan then suggested that for his next RAF outing they need to double the dimensions of the stage.
The highest lightweight was quick to call out Colby Covington after his victory, and the pair faced off. Covington is resulting from tackle Chris Weidman at RAF09 in Texas next month, but after a chat with Hunter Campbell could make a change and deliver a dream match.
