Henry Cejudo told Georgio Poullas following his brawl with Arman Tsarukyan that they both should’ve been disqualified.
This past Saturday, Real American Freestyle Wrestling returned to Arizona for RAF06, headlined by Henry Cejudo and Urijah Faber.
Also on the card was UFC lightweight number one contender Arman Tsarukyan, who took on Georgio Poullas in the co-main event.
And after picking up a decision win, Tsarukyan sparked a huge brawl with Poullas after their match, which ended up involving both of their teams.
Can Arman Tsarukyan be trusted with a UFC title shot?
Between punching a fan at UFC 300, his Dan Hooker headbutt and now the RAF brawl, is Arman Tsarukyan too much of a loose canon for the UFC title?
Cejudo grills Poullas following his part in brawl with Tsarukyan
Although the two remained somewhat respectful towards each other for the majority of fight week, it was clear there was tension between the two throughout.
And when Poullas and ‘Ahalkalakets’ exchanged slaps during the first round of their match, it was almost inevitable that something would kick off.
Following the melee, Poullas was given a grilling by the main event winner, Cejudo, who told him he is lucky his match took place under the RAF banner, otherwise he would’ve been disqualified.
“I’m just gonna tell you the truth in front of your dad, and correct me if I’m wrong,” Cejudo told Poullas.
“You’re getting away with that s— because it’s Real American Freestyle, if it was regular Freestyle they’d f—— disqualify you and him,” Cejudo continued.
“They should’ve disqualified him,” Poullas answered back.
Not long after, Poullas sent Tsarukyan a message from the back of an ambulance, where he goaded the UFC star for not being able to take him down in their match.
Despite that, the Armenian still went on to win the match via a 5-3 decision, but Poullas is still claiming he’s the ‘champ’ for scoring a takedown.

Will Tsarukyan’s antics affect his position in the UFC?
Over the past few years, ‘Ahalkalakets’ has seemingly damaged his relationship with the UFC brass because of his antics outside of the cage.
From pulling out of his title fight against Islam Makhachev, to head-butting Dan Hooker before their UFC Qatar clash, the 29-year-old is in the bad books.
Despite that, his antics outside of the UFC should not affect his position in the premier MMA promotion, and he should still be given another chance by Dana White.
