Arman Tsarukyan beats Dillon Danis by tech fall in RAF wrestling title match
The UFC lightweight needed around 80 seconds to stop Danis in Las Vegas, then said in his post-match interview that their feud will not end until they meet in the cage.
Arman Tsarukyan defeated Dillon Danis by technical fall in Las Vegas, ending their RAF wrestling title match in around 80 seconds.
The win does not settle the rivalry. Asked by Chael Sonnen in the post-match interview whether the feud was over, Tsarukyan said it will not be finished until the pair have fought in the cage.
The bout carried heavy bad blood. Their pre-show press conference ended in a brawl, with Tsarukyan's close friend Khamzat Chimaev also in attendance. After the finish, security stepped in when tempers rose again, but Tsarukyan and Danis shook hands.
Danis, who had lost both of his previous outings, was given the title shot against his rival. He made weight at 175lb after a cut that could have been almost 30lb.
Tsarukyan walked out with a tribute to Elvis Presley.
