Arman Tsarukyan stepped back onto the mats and secured another win, this time over UFC veteran Tony Ferguson by technical fall.
Tsarukyan, making his sixth straight appearance with RAF Wrestling, came into the match on a strong run of form. But Ferguson brought plenty of experience, having even faced Jon Jones during his collegiate days.
Both fighters entered the bout with momentum. Ferguson had found some late-career form in Misfits Boxing last year, picking up wins over Salt Papi and Warren Spencer to get back on track.
RAF10 Recap: Arman Tsarukyan vs Tony Ferguson
A record crowd filled the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri for a double-header featuring Arman Tsarukyan vs Tony Ferguson as one of the main events. The other headline bout was Dillon Danis against Khamzat Chimaev.
Just 40 seconds into the fight, Tsarukyan lifted Ferguson for a big slam that gave him four points and put him 6-0 ahead overall. Ferguson managed to get through to the second round but took some risks trying to turn things around.
But he got caught again and was slammed once more, bringing the score to 10-0 and handing Tsarukyan another tech fall. Afterward, he tossed one of his shoes into the stands, getting a big reaction from the crowd, before another face-off with Colby Covington ahead of their bout at RAF11 next month.
