Arman Tsarukyan Set for RAF 10 as UFC Backup Fighter
Arman Tsarukyan is gearing up for a busy schedule, set to compete at RAF 10 on June 13, just one day before he potentially steps in as a backup fighter for the highly anticipated UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.
Arman Tsarukyan, an emerging star in mixed martial arts, is slated to make his appearance at RAF 10 on June 13 in a busy week for the fighter. This event comes just before UFC Freedom 250, where he is expected to serve as a backup for the main event featuring Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria.
During a media day at RAF 9, Tsarukyan expressed confidence that both Gaethje and Topuria will proceed with their planned fight, indicating that he might not need to participate in the weigh-in for UFC Freedom 250. Instead, he is focused on his match at RAF 10.
Prior to RAF 10, Tsarukyan will face Keelon “Mugzy” Jimison at RAF 9 in Arlington, Texas. This match is significant as it marks his second appearance in the Real American Freestyle wrestling series, following a notable victory over UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber at RAF 8.
With three major events lined up in quick succession, Tsarukyan remains active and prepared for any opportunity that arises in the UFC, showcasing his dedication to the sport and readiness for competition.
