Henry Cejudo has offered advice to Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas following their post-match brawl right after the RAF 06 co-main event.
Tsarukyan returned to the mats earlier today to face Poullas, and the wrestling contest turned ugly when both parties started slapping each other instead of wrestling. Poullas even pushed and punched Tsarukyan during the contest.
However, things went ugly in Round 3. The UFC lightweight was leading the scorecards 5-3, and in the final seconds, Poullas tried a takedown to turn the tide, but Tsarukyan successfully stuffed it, and after the final bell, he pushed Poullas down and punched him in the face.
Tsarukyan was ready to ground and pound Poullas, and the situation escalated further when both corners rushed into the mat.
Security soon stepped in to bring the situation under control.
A few minutes after the order was restored, Henry Cejudo made his RAF debut in the main event against Urijah Faber, and won by technical fall in Round 3.
Henry Cejudo’s message to Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas
A video has surfaced of Henry Cejudo explaining to Georgio Poullas that since the incident happened under the RAF banner, he likely won’t be banned. However, Cejudo added that in most other promotions, both Poullas and Arman Tsarukyan could have faced suspensions and been fined for jumping each other.
“I just gotta tell you the truth… You are getting away with sh*t because it’s Real American Freestyle. If it were regular freestyle, they would fuc**ing disqualify you and him.”

Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili also talked to Poullas after RAF 06. “The Machine” said that he wants to see a rematch between Poullas and Arman Tsarukyan, and the two should settle the bad blood and shake hands.
“First, what I wanna see is you [Georgio Poullas] and Arman [Tsarukyan] shake hands and rematch. I know you guys were slapping each other. It was fun to watch.”

“Ahalkalakets,” however, has made it clear that he does not regret punching Georgio Poullas. On X, the Armenian quipped:
“F**k around and find out 🤷♂️”
