UFC fighter Arman Sarukyan (30) assaulted his opponent immediately after the fight in a wrestling competition, triggering a large-scale group scuffle.

The Sun reported on the 2nd (local time) that "Sarukyan caused a huge melee in a wrestling competition and quickly turned the stadium into a chaos."

Sarukyan faced Giorgio Poulas in the comain event of the wrestling tournament 'RAF 06' at Mullet Arena in Arizona. The main event of the competition was a match between mixed martial arts (MMA) legends Eurya Faber and Henry Sehudo.

Sarukyan won 5-3 against Fulas on the day. However, the problem occurred shortly after the end of the game. Sarukyan suddenly pushed Poulas to the floor and threw an indiscriminate punch, such as putting a positive hit on his chin.

"This unexpected action immediately led to a physical clash between the two teams," the media said. "As officials from both teams tangled and wielded violence, the stadium turned into a riotous mess, and tournament officials sweated to separate Sarukyan and Pulas."

Pulas, who was assaulted by Sarukyan, later wore a neck brace and said, "Unfortunately, I was attacked. But as you can see, my 62-year-old father and two brothers jumped in to save me, and we grew up fighting for each other under any circumstances.

"We were outnumbered by about a dozen Armenians (Sarukyan side), but my family was willing to fight for me," he said. "Sarukyan, you are a coward. As anyone who watched the game knows, I'm the only one who made the takedown. "I only got points for pushback and penalty points, and I'm still the champion," he said.

Sarukyan, on the other hand, showed no remorse at all. He left a short message on his social media (SNS), saying, "You'll see what happens if you mess around."

Eric Bischoff, who was a major WWE figure in the past and is currently the chief media officer (CMO) of RAF, expressed deep disappointment over the incident.

"It looks like a scene from professional wrestling, so I'm already being accused of directing this situation," Bischoff explained. "But anyone who has worked with me will know that I wouldn't have let this me fight last this long." "There are so many great things about RAF, but I'm very disappointed to be overshadowed by this," he added.
