“Tsarukyan is Lying,” Covington Insists He Dominated Arman in Sparring

Last weekend, the RAF 7 wrestling tournament concluded, with UFC fighters Arman Tsarukyan and Colby Covington both securing victories in their respective main events.

A future showdown between the two in the Octagon is certainly a possibility, as both athletes have expressed mutual interest in such a bout.

Furthermore, there has been an ongoing undercurrent of tension and disagreement between Arman and Colby, particularly concerning their past training sessions together. Covington, in particular, has now emphatically stated that “Tsarukyan is lying,” asserting that it was he who was clearly the superior force during their previous sparring exchanges.
