At the RAF 06 event in Tempe, Arizona, former collegiate wrestler Georgio Poullas faced UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan. After a heated press conference and a brief fight, Tsarukyan launched a post‑match assault, delivering a takedown and punch that left Poullas with a neck injury. Poullas was later seen in a neck brace and transported in an ambulance.
Poulas later criticized Tsarukyan’s conduct, saying he was “jumped” and that his family had to intervene. Tsarukyan posted on X, dismissing the incident with a “fuck around and find out” remark.
