Arman Tsarukyan mocks Colby Covington for filing lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal
Arman Tsarukyan has subtly mocked Colby Covington and his decision to file a lawsuit against Jorge Masvidal from their 2022 incident. The Armenian has become somewhat of an internet sensation during his hiatus from the UFC . Instead of making a name for himself inside the octagon, the 29-year-old has been making friends with popular streamers and getting as many eyes on him as possible.
The time away from competing has been beneficial to his reputation, but he hasn't been completely idle. During his absence from fighting in the cage and his subsequent social media tour, Arman Tsarukyan has found success in Real American Freestyle, a newly-founded wrestling promotion showcasing some of the best the sport has to offer. As they attempt to promote elite-level wrestling to a more mainstream audience, Tsarukyan has arguably emerged as the standout name on the mats.
The UFC ace has amassed a perfect 3-0 start to life in RAF, but could face stiff competition in the future. His grappling brilliance has caught the attention of Colby Covington, who also has a positive 2-0 record in the company. Both men have been caught in an escalating war of words, and the interest in their potential match is beginning to grow.
According to reports, the UFC is preventing any chance of the two colliding under the RAF banner, but that hasn't stopped Tsarukyan's verbal assault on Covington. In 2022, Colby Covington was assaulted outside of a restaurant by Jorge Masvidal in the streets of Miami. The two fought just weeks before the events of March 21, but their feud transcended the octagon, leading to the assault.
Covington has since decided to press charges against Masvidal, seeking damages in excess of $50,000. Amid the news of the lawsuit, Arman Tsarukyan took to social media to taunt 'Chaos'. "The real king of Miami," Tsarukyan wrote on Instagram in an attempt to draw a reaction out of Covington.
