Arman Tsarukyan shrugged again.

The action of UFC star Arman Tsarukyan at the evening of the free wrestling organization RAF is surprising.
Tsarukyan, 29, faced 46-year-old Urijah Faber, who retired from the UFC more than six years ago, in a wrestling match.
The level difference between the two was huge, and Tsarukyan won crushingly with a score of 13–1.
Instead of the result, however, the Armenian star’s reckless and dangerous trick in the final moments of the match made headlines. He grabbed Faber’s leg and pushed him completely out of the wrestling ring. The two flew over the announcers onto the concrete floor.
Tsarukyan’s UFC colleague Hamzat Chimayev wondered on a Russian website Championatin by publishing a video of what the rabble-rouser imagined he would achieve by beating the retired Faber.
– This guy beat a 75-year-old man and now he thinks he’s a champion, Chimayev acknowledged.
Tsarukyan later explained to reporter Ariel Helwani on the podcastthat he “forgot that he was on the wrestling mat and not in the freestyle cage”, and that’s why the space on the mat suddenly ran out.
Faber said in the same program that he didn’t hurt himself, but that his sore back only got better from the concussion.
