Henry Cejudo has addressed Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas in the aftermath of their heated post-match altercation following the RAF 06 co-main event.
Tsarukyan’s return to the wrestling mat against Poullas quickly devolved into chaos. Instead of traditional wrestling, the competitors exchanged slaps, with Poullas also pushing and punching Tsarukyan during the match itself.
The situation truly deteriorated in Round 3. With UFC lightweight Tsarukyan holding a 5-3 lead, Poullas attempted a last-ditch takedown in the closing seconds. Tsarukyan successfully defended it, but immediately after the final bell, he retaliated by pushing Poullas to the ground and landing a punch to his face.

Tsarukyan appeared ready to continue with ground and pound, leading to further escalation as both teams’ corners flooded onto the mat. Security personnel swiftly intervened to restore order.
Minutes after the disturbance was quelled, Henry Cejudo made his RAF debut in the main event, securing a technical fall victory over Urijah Faber in Round 3.

Henry Cejudo’s Warning to Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas
A video has emerged showing Henry Cejudo informing Georgio Poullas that, due to the incident occurring under the RAF banner, a ban is improbable. However, Cejudo clarified that in most other promotions, both Poullas and Tsarukyan would likely face suspensions and fines for their altercation.
“I just gotta tell you the truth… You are getting away with sh*t because it’s Real American Freestyle. If it were regular freestyle, they would fu*king disqualify you and him.”

Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili, known as “The Machine,” also conversed with Poullas after RAF 06. He suggested a rematch between Poullas and Arman Tsarukyan, proposing they settle their bad blood and shake hands.
“First, what I wanna see is you [Georgio Poullas] and Arman [Tsarukyan] shake hands and rematch. I know you guys were slapping each other. It was fun to watch.”
“Ahalkalakets” (Arman Tsarukyan), however, has made it clear he doesn’t regret punching Georgio Poullas, quipping on X:
“F**k around and find out 🤷♂️”
Fuck around and find out 🤷♂️
