UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan will rematch Georgio Poullas in wrestling, headlining RAF 07 on March 28 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. The bout, announced March 6, follows their RAF 06 clash that ended in a brawl and Poullas' withdrawal from a planned Brazil grappling match to prioritize this RAF event.

Real American Freestyle (RAF) confirmed the wrestling rematch between UFC-ranked lightweight Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas via social media on March 6, 2026, set to headline RAF 07 on March 28 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, broadcast live on Fox Nation.

The pairing stems from their February 28, 2026, RAF 06 bout in Tempe, Arizona, where Tsarukyan won 5-3 amid post-match chaos: Tsarukyan pushed Poullas down, security intervened after Poullas' in-match strikes drew protests, and Poullas later claimed a 'true takedown' victory from an ambulance.

A submission-only rematch planned for March 11 at Hype Fighting Championship in Brazil collapsed when Poullas withdrew, prioritizing RAF rules. RAF executives had pushed for their promotion to host the sequel.

The feud has spotlighted Tsarukyan's contender status against Poullas, a former college wrestler and social media personality.
