Arman Tsarukyan had some choice words for Georgio Poullas after their altercation at RAF Wrestling, and they weren’t “I’m sorry”.
The number one contender in the UFC lightweight division has been staying active with a series of striking-free matches across various promotions and disciplines as he awaits his next official fight offer from the promotion.
