Arman Tsarukyan continues to make headlines outside of the octagon…
This time during a live stream that quickly went viral!
Fresh off his win over Georgio Poullas at Real American Freestyle 7, Tsarukyan appeared on a Kick stream hosted by influencer Clavicular.
During the stream, things escalated when Clavicular’s friend, Shoovy, volunteered to experience a choke firsthand.
And, well, Tsarukyan didn’t hesitate to demonstrate his grappling.
Within seconds, he secured a rear naked choke (RNC) and applied it cleanly – putting Shoovy to sleep and leaving him briefly unconscious on the floor.

Earlier this week, UFC’s Dana White addressed speculation about Tsarukyan possibly competing under the UFC’s grappling banner – and whether a matchup with Mikey Musumeci could materialize.
The topic came up after a reporter highlighted Tsarukyan’s recent activity outside of MMA, noting that he has taken part in seven submission grappling matches over the past seven months:
I guess. I don’t know. Is that what he wants to do?
Well, I believe if Claudia (Cadelha, UFC BJJ President) wants it done, she’ll get it done.
Which only means that Tsarukyan will continue demonstrating his submission grappling skills!
