"Tsarukyan and Poullas initialy squared off in a chippy wrestling match at Real American Freestyle 6 this past Saturday in Tempe, Arizona. While Tsarukyan emerged victorious, the real drama began after the conclusion of the match, when the UFC lightweight tackled his foe to the mat and threw a punch. That led to a full-scale melee in the arena, as Tsarukyan and Poullas were seperated during the fracas."
"Tsarukyan is a top lightweight contender who is coming off a submission victory over Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar this past November. He fell out of the promotion's good graces when he withdrew from a title shot against Islam Makhachev in January 2025, but he has managed to remain active in other combat sports endeavors while the UFC kept him sidelined."
"Hype FC announced on Tuesday that Tsarukyan and Poullas will meet in a submission-only grappling match on March 11 at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The match will be contested over 10 minutes. Tsarukyan had already been confirmed for the event but was awaiting an opponent."
