RAF Wrestling returns tonight with yet one more Arman Tsarukyan match set to headline in Philadelphia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tsarukyan will tackle former WEC champion and UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber before the fundamental event after nearly making it to the City of Brotherly Love following an American Airlines incident. He was faraway from a plane heading to the match, but made it to the show by chartering a jet.<\/p>\n

Can Arman Tsarukyan be trusted with a UFC title shot?<\/h3>\n

Between punching a fan at UFC 300, his Dan Hooker headbutt and now the RAF brawl, is Arman Tsarukyan an excessive amount of of a loose canon for the UFC title?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the fundamental event that was because of pit two bantamweight legends against each other in Merab Dvalishvili and Henry Cejudo has been called off just hours from go time. Back in 2024, the Georgian defeated former two-weight UFC champion Cejudo of their MMA meeting.<\/p>\n

However the American is an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, and widely considered considered one of the best competitors in the game\u2019s history. He made his return to the mat earlier this 12 months when he completely dominated Faber at RAF06.<\/p>\n

There’s also a bunch of massive names from the game of wrestling featured on the show, with Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder taking over Rizabek Aitmukhan in a key matchup. Anthony Cassioppi and Shamil Sharipov is one other exciting clash.<\/p>\n
