Tsarukyan’s wrestling must be given credit when it is praised
by one of the greatest freestyle wrestlers of all time.
Abdulrashid Sadulaev recently heaped praise on Tsarukyan’s
wrestling. Sadulaev says Tsarukyan often trains in their camp and
with other elite Russian wrestlers. Sadulaev also notes that
Tsarukyan trains with one of the most respected coaches, Vladimir
Modosyan. According to the two-time Olympic gold medalist,
Tsarukyan would land in the Top 5 if he competed in the Russian
wrestling championship.
High Praise
“Arman frequently joined us in camps,” Sadulaev told Red Corner
MMA. “He trained with the best wrestlers. Also he always worked
with one of our best coaches, it’s one of Russia’s honored coaches
— Vladimir Modosyan. I think his wrestling skills are above
average. For example, if he competed at the Russian championships
he could’ve made it in Top 5.”
Tsarukyan (23-3) remains sidelined from the
UFC lightweight title picture despite being widely considered
the most deserving contender. “Ahalkalakets” has been keeping
himself busy in wrestling competitions in the meanwhile. Tsarukyan
is undefeated on the RAF wrestling mats, albeit he mostly wrestles
MMA veterans or social media wrestlers. Tsarukyan is scheduled to
compete against another wrestling influencer, Keelon
Jimison aka Mugzy, at RAF 9 on May 30. Tsarukyan will then take
on Tony
Ferguson at RAF 10 on June 13.
