Arman Tsarukyan continues to make headlines, even outside the UFC Octagon.
Just days after settling his score with wrestling rival Giorgio Poulos at RAF 7, Tsarukyan appeared on a live Kick stream with popular influencer Clavicular. The UFC lightweight contender got a chance to showcase his submission skills when a friend of Clavicular's voluntarily agreed to be choked unconscious. Seconds later, Tsarukyan applied a rear-naked choke to the young man, leaving him momentarily unconscious on the floor.
See the footage below.
"Are you scared?" Tsarukyan asked before applying the hold.
"Yeah, I'm scared," Shoovy replied. "But, hell. I probably won't die. I just hope I wake up."
It took Tsarukyan only a few seconds to render the influencer unconscious, leaving him twitching as he was carefully lowered to the ground.
"Oh, damn, did he die?" a laughing Clavicular asked. Fortunately, his friend sat up shortly after, sounding disoriented but otherwise fine.
Although he doesn't have a UFC fight scheduled after his dominant submission victory over Dan Hooker in November, Tsarukyan remains active, participating in grappling and wrestling matches across various organizations. He currently has a wrestling match planned against UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber at RAF 8 on April 18.
