Controversial Histories

Tsarukyan (23-3) has been active in grappling tournaments as he
remains sidelined from the UFC lightweight title picture. Tsarukyan
most recently competed in freestyle wrestling against social media
grappling star Georgio Poullas, who seemingly committed multiple
fouls during the match at RAF 6. Tsarukyan won the bout and punched
Poullas, leading to absolute chaos in the arena. Tsarukyan was
originally matched up in a submission grappling rematch against
Poullas at Hype FC on March 11. However, the bout fell through soon
after as Poullas pulled out, citing his preference to compete under
RAF. Tsarukyan and Poullas are now scheduled to meet in a rematch
at RAF 7 on March 28. 

Meanwhile, Mokaev’s (15-0) UFC contract was bizarrely not renewed
after a win over Manel Kape
in 2024. While some blamed Mokaev’s conduct outside the Octagon,
the undefeated flyweight claims he had been warned by the UFC to
change his grappling-heavy style. Mokaev has since picked up a win
at Karate Combat and recently became the inaugural
Brave Combat Federation flyweight champion with a head kick
knockout.
