Arman Tsarukyan isn’t just thinking about winning matches – he’s thinking about ownership.
During a live stream with Adam Zubayraev, Tsarukyan spoke openly about his role in the rapid growth of Real American Freestyle (RAF) and what he believes he deserves in return:
The company is worth 110 million dollars.
Before me it was worth 15, I had 3 matches, now it’s 110. Can you imagine?Now we’ll do this match, and for the next contract, I need percentages from the company.
He confirmed that discussions with RAF leadership have already taken place:
They’re okay with it, but I still don’t know the percentage…
At least three. God willing.
At the same time, Tsarukyan addressed how his involvement with RAF fits alongside his UFC career.
According to him, there’s no conflict, as long as communication is clear:
I ask them for permission. If they hadn’t allowed it, I wouldn’t do it.
We’re not forbidden from competing. Specifically in freestyle wrestling.
I think even for UFC it’s good that we compete.
More importantly, it keeps him relevant and visible:
I think it’s a plus because we stay active, we stay in the media space.
For some athletes, of course, it’s a downside.
For me, it’s normal, I’m still building my profile, I’m not a champion yet.
