Arman Tsarukyan targets Georges St-Pierre for RAF bout

Arman Tsarukyan has expressed interest in facing MMA legend Georges St-Pierre in a matchup under the Royal Assult Federation (RAF) banner. Following his victory over Dillon Danis in Las Vegas, where Tsarukyan secured the RAF middleweight crossover championship, the fighter discussed his ambitions to bring high-profile names to the organization.

Tsarukyan, who is currently the number one contender in the UFC lightweight division, emphasized his desire to compete against established stars rather than unknown opponents. He noted that while he has achieved significant success in the UFC with wins over fighters such as Charles Oliveira and Dan Hooker, winning the RAF title remains a priority for him due to the visibility and prestige of the belt.

Despite pre-fight physical tensions and post-match friction between Tsarukyan and Danis, the newly crowned champion stated that any personal beef has been resolved.
