Video: Arman Tsarukyan sends Urijah Faber flying into the crowd at RAF 08
Arman Tsarukyan dominated Urijah Faber at RAF 8 in Philadelphia this past Saturday.
Tsarukyan controlled the pace from the opening whistle, eventually winning via technical fall (13-1). The 29-year-old lightweight contender built a double-digit lead early, but the defining moment occurred when his aggressive pressure drove Faber completely off the mat. The momentum sent Faber onto the concrete floor, nearly landing him in the front row of the crowd.

Despite the spill, the 46-year-old Faber was uninjured and remained in good spirits throughout the post-match proceedings.
Following the win, Tsarukyan turned his attention to the future by calling out Colby Covington. The two fighters have reportedly reached a verbal agreement to face each other at RAF 9 this coming May
