Arman Tsarukyan is set to compete in another Real American Freestyle (RAF) event, with his next appearance scheduled for RAF 10 on June 13. He will face a notable opponent in UFC veteran Tony Ferguson in a middleweight bout. This booking comes despite an earlier announcement that Tsarukyan was slated to fight Keelon Jimison, also known as Mugzy, at RAF 09 on May 30.
The news of Tsarukyan’s upcoming fight with Ferguson was first reported by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. This new matchup at RAF 10, which will take place at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, means Tsarukyan will be competing in two RAF events within a short timeframe.
Tony Ferguson, a well-known figure in MMA, recently departed the UFC following a series of losses. However, he found success in 2025 under the Misfits Boxing banner, securing two victories and claiming the MFB middleweight title.
Arman Tsarukyan has been actively participating in RAF events. His debut was at RAF 05 in January, followed by appearances at RAF 06, RAF 07, and RAF 08, where he secured multiple wins, including technical falls and decisions against various opponents, including UFC veteran Urijah Faber.
Tsarukyan’s last outing in the UFC was in November, where he defeated Dan Hooker by submission, extending his winning streak to five fights.
