Arman Tsarukyan moved to 7-0 in the RAF earlier tonight after a dominant 11-0 technical fall over Kuat Khamitov.
Before and during the match, Tsarukyan was booed by the crowd. Fans were chanting former UFC two-division champion Ilia Topuria’s name, with whom the Armenian has a strained relationship.
However, “Ahalkalakets” found the perfect moment to respond. After ragdolling Khamitov at RAF Georgia and securing yet another spectacular win, Tsarukyan, during the post-match interview, said:
“Georgia, thank you so much for the hospitality. Give me anybody from Georgia. I’ll beat them.”
The 29-year-old also jumped into the stands after getting his hand raised.

Next weekend, Arman Tsarukyan will take on Colby Covington at RAF 11.
Arman Tsarukyan most recently took Countless digs at Ilia Topuria
After Ilia Topuria got his face turned into a horror movie and also lost his lightweight title to Justin Gaethje at the White House, top contender Arman Tsarukyan took repeated shots at the Georgian-Spaniard. Tsarukyan even claimed that if either he or Islam Makhachev were to face Topuria, they would do far worse to him than what “The Highlight” did on June 14.
He also suggested Michael Chandler, who is on a four-fight losing skid, as Topuria’s comeback opponent.
Topuria had previously shown no interest in fighting Tsarukyan when “El Matador” was the 155-pound champion. And now, with Topuria no longer having the ball in his court, the Armenian has taken every opportunity to mock him. Ahalkalakets” is expected to run it back with BMF titleholder Charles Oliveira next. Topuria, on the other hand, is currently recovering after the White House slugfest, and his team has suggested that he will enter the octagon in late 2026.
