Real American Freestyle (RAF) pits the very best freestyle wrestlers from all corners of the world planet against one another and has grabbed the attention since its launch in August 2025.
The wrestling promotion has seen several incidents in its short time that went viral including post-match brawls. Over the weekend, they had another one. Top UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan took on MMA legend Urijah Faber. Tsarukyan was dominating the retired fighter, but during the second period a scary incident occurred.
Tsarukyan drove forward for a single-leg takedown attempt driving both himself and Faber off the stage and crashing onto the concrete floor. Luckily, neither were injured.

On Sunday, Faber released a statement via social media addressing the incident and laid heavy criticism on Tsarukyan.
"He’s got all the makings of a Champion…except for self control," Faber captioned a video post on Instagram. "Spoiled kid for life. Congrats [Tsarukyan], too much cushion for a hospital visit.”
