UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan is set for another bout with Real American Freestyle (RAF), this time against UFC veteran Tony Ferguson. The middleweight clash is scheduled for RAF 10 on June 13, 2026, at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis.
This booking comes shortly after Tsarukyan was announced to compete at RAF 09 on May 30 against influencer wrestler Keelon Jimison, also known as Mugzy. Tsarukyan has been actively participating in RAF events while awaiting his next UFC appearance.
Tony Ferguson, a former UFC interim lightweight champion, left the promotion after an eight-fight losing streak, with his last UFC bout being a submission loss to Michael Chiesa in August 2024. However, Ferguson found success in 2025 under the Misfits Boxing banner, securing two wins and capturing the MFB middleweight title.
Arman Tsarukyan has been a consistent presence in the Real American Freestyle promotion since his debut in January. He has accumulated multiple victories, including technical falls and decision wins, against opponents such as Lance Palmer, Georgio Poullas, and UFC veteran Urijah Faber. Tsarukyan’s most recent UFC fight was a submission win over Dan Hooker in November 2025, extending his winning streak to five.
