Arman Tsarukyan's run on the Real American Freestyle mats continues.
The UFC lightweight contender has booked a return, this time facing wrestling influencer Keelon Jimison, known as "Mugzy", at RAF 09 on May 30 in Dallas. The promotion announced the news Tuesday on social media.
This will be Tsarukyan's fifth wrestling match under RAF. He debuted in the promotion in January and has since competed every month, defeating Lance Palmer, Georgio Poullas (twice), and most recently Urijah Faber. Tsarukyan has kept busy in the grappling department, also competing in jiu-jitsu tournaments, as he waits for his next UFC assignment. Tsarukyan last fought in December when he defeated Dan Hooker by submission.
With nearly 1 million Instagram followers, "Mugzy" is no stranger to competing against UFC talent at RAF. He's coming off a win over Clay Guida in February. It was his first win under RAF, as he had lost his first two matches. His most notable match was against fellow influencer Poullas.
