Key points
Arman Tsarukyan is back on the RAF mat tonight for his hardest test yet as he takes on Colby Covington in Milwaukee.
Popular UFC lightweight contender Tsarukyan weighed in at a whopping 180.8lb for his bout with former interim welterweight champion Covington. It’s a marked difference from the much smaller men he has been wrestling including the likes of Urijah Faber in recent weeks.
What do you make of Ben Askren’s decision to return to RAF Wrestling?

While it’s nothing special to see Tsarukyan out on the mats, fans will get an actual treat after they are offered the prospect to observe Ben Askren don the singlet for the primary time since undergoing a double lung transplant last summer.
Askren faces Belal Muhammad, the energetic welterweight contender who was UFC champion throughout the last 15 months. The match has divided the wrestling community and wider fight world, with many fearing for the Olympian’s health.
