Arman Tsarukyan: UFC Record, Next Fight and RAF 06 Brawl

Record: 24-3-0 (Tapology (fight-record database)) · RAF debut: won over Lance Palmer, according to Rafinsider (RAF fan news site) · RAF 6 result: 5-3 decision over Georgio Poullas, per Cronkite News (Arizona journalism newsroom)

Ten rows, one pattern: the dates hold up better than the totals, so each figure below stays tied to the publisher that gave it.

What is Arman Tsarukyan’s UFC record?

Which weight class does Arman Tsarukyan compete in?

• He competes at lightweight.
• Wikipedia (open reference encyclopedia) ranks him No. 2 in the UFC lightweight division, citing a 27 January 2026 ranking.

How did Arman Tsarukyan’s RAF 5 bout against Lance Palmer end?

• According to Rafinsider (RAF fan news site), the bout ended in a technical fall win for Tsarukyan on 10 January 2026 in Sunrise, Florida.
• The other sources reviewed do not add a finish method.

Three sources, three career totals, one pattern: the UFC count and the all-fights count never line up, so every figure needs its label.

The implication: until a date-by-date stats breakdown is checked, no single UFC record should be published as settled.

Is Arman Tsarukyan part Russian?

Is Arman Tsarukyan Armenian?

• A French-language profile describes him as an Armenian mixed martial artist.
• No source reviewed contradicts that description.

Does the Moscow profile listing confirm Russian ancestry?

• A search result titled “Arman Tsarukyan | Moscow” ranks in the top five, but it is a Tier 3 listing.
• A city in a profile title does not establish ancestry.

The catch: no input in this review establishes his ethnic or ancestral background, so Russian ancestry is not confirmed by the sources.

Is Arman rich before UFC?

Is Arman Tsarukyan’s father rich?

• No source reviewed addresses his father’s finances.
• The sources leave the question open in both directions.

What is Arman Tsarukyan’s net worth?

• No verified net worth figure appears in the sources reviewed.
• According to Tapology (fight-record database), his disclosed career earnings reportedly total $400,000 USD, a single listing that is not a net worth.

What this means: a pre-UFC wealth claim has no sourced anchor, so repeating it would mean repeating a guess.

When is Arman Tsarukyan’s next fight?

Is Arman Tsarukyan fighting Dillon Danis?

• No input in this review confirms a booked bout with Dillon Danis.
• The pairing appears as a related search, not as an official announcement.

Which promotion will host Arman Tsarukyan’s next bout?

• No promotion has confirmed a booking in the sources reviewed.
• The dated Wikipedia entry for RAF Abu Dhabi, shown in the snapshot, is the only listing with a date.
• FightBanter (MMA news blog) reportedly lists a possible RAF 15 bout against Anthony Pettis in Chicago, a low-confidence entry.

The implication: a search for a date will find many listings and very few confirmed ones, so search volume reflects interest rather than a booking.

What happened at RAF 06 involving Georgio Poullas?

MMA Fighting (MMA news outlet) reported in January that Tsarukyan would face Poullas at RAF 6 at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, on 28 February 2026.

Cronkite News (Arizona journalism newsroom) reported the result as a 5-3 decision, while MMA Mania (MMA news site) gives a 6-4 scorecard for the same bout, a conflict this review could not resolve.

Who is Georgio Poullas?

• Poullas is an amateur wrestler and influencer, according to EssentiallySports (sports news site).
• MMA Junkie (USA Today MMA coverage) ran a report headlined with an RAF co-founder’s view that Tsarukyan is a risky opponent for Poullas.

What did Arman Tsarukyan do after the co-main event?

• According to Rafinsider (RAF fan news site), Tsarukyan punched Poullas immediately after the final whistle, and a brawl between the two teams followed.
• Cronkite News (Arizona journalism newsroom) covered that brawl, and Poullas has claimed Tsarukyan should have been disqualified.

The implication: the RAF 6 brawl is a documented flashpoint, but its winner and its aftermath have been argued in public rather than settled by a neutral record.

Timeline signal

• 20 April 2019: UFC debut, a unanimous decision loss to Islam Makhachev, according to Rafinsider.

• 19 September 2026: UFC 331 KO/TKO win over Maurício Ruffy, per Wikipedia.

The pattern: each dated entry names its publisher, so a reader can check a bout against the source that reported it.

Clarity check

The implication: the confirmed column is short, so most of the Tsarukyan story rests on the unclear column.

In their words

“Yes. It’s the best. But I still enjoy fighting.”

Arman Tsarukyan, asked whether RAF pay now matches his UFC pay (Yahoo Sports (national sports news outlet))

“I can pay you $100,000 if you do sparring with me, but there is no time.”

Arman Tsarukyan, at the RAF 7 press conference (EssentiallySports (sports news site))

“As a businessman, it makes no sense for me to take that $100,000.”

Georgio Poullas, declining the sparring offer (EssentiallySports, sports news site)

What this means: the two fighters’ public statements about money are quotes, not disclosures, and they do not establish either man’s net worth.

The sourced Tsarukyan story is the UFC and RAF results, the Poullas rivalry, and the gaps around them. Money and family claims sit outside that record. For a fan deciding which Tsarukyan story to repeat, the choice is clear: cite the dated bouts with their publishers, and treat any wealth or lineage claim as unverified until a primary record confirms it.
