Tsarukyan to Face UFC Legend Urijah Faber at RAF08

Arman Tsarukyan is set to face UFC legend Urijah Faber in a wrestling match on April 18 at RAF08 in Philadelphia. The bout follows his recent decision victory over Georgio Poullas and a potential grappling bout with Dillon Danis that is still in talks.

Arman Tsarukyan closed a heated rivalry with Georgio Poullas by winning a decision in a recent freestyle wrestling match. While a short‑notice grappling bout with Dillon Danis was discussed, talks remain uncertain, and Tsarukyan has shifted focus to the upcoming event.

On April 18, the former UFC fighter will return to the mats at RAF08 in Philadelphia to face UFC legend Urijah Faber. The bout is part of a card that also features Merab Dvalishvili vs. Henry Cejudo, and Tsarukyan is keeping his weight down in case he is called to step in for a UFC lightweight title fight.
