Georgio Poullas has withdrawn from a planned submission-only grappling rematch against UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan at Hype FC, favoring a wrestling rematch under the RAF banner instead. The shift follows their contentious wrestling bout and post-match brawl at RAF 6, with RAF executives backing a return to their promotion to settle the score.
Arman Tsarukyan defeated Georgio Poullas 5-3 in the co-main event of RAF 6 but sparked a post-match brawl by tackling and punching his opponent. The altercation involved both fighters' corners and required security intervention to restore order. Poullas, who was taken to a hospital in a neck brace, later called Tsarukyan a 'little b*tch' in a social media statement.
