Arman Tsarukyan calls out Georges St-Pierre after tech fall win over Dillon Danis
The UFC lightweight contender named St-Pierre at the RAF 14 press conference after beating Danis in Las Vegas, a win that took his Real American Freestyle record to 8-1.
Arman Tsarukyan named Georges St-Pierre as a wrestling opponent he wants after beating Dillon Danis by tech fall in the RAF 14 main event in Las Vegas on Friday, 23 October.
The win took the UFC lightweight contender to 8-1 under the Real American Freestyle (RAF) banner and returned him to winning ways after a defeat to former UFC title challenger Colby Covington in July. Tsarukyan would like a rematch with Covington, but he also wants to face better-known names on the RAF mat.
Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Tsarukyan said: “We’ve got a lot of names here. Right now, I’m focusing on the MMA fighters with big names.” He said he did not want to wrestle no-names and wanted to collect all the big names and the best fighters, pointing out that a lot of UFC fighters and other good fighters had signed with RAF.
Tsarukyan then turned to St-Pierre, the UFC legend. He said: “We’ll see, maybe they can bring GSP.” He added: “I would like to wrestle him.”
