Former UFC light heavyweight champion Arman Tsarukyan delivered a dominant showing in his Real American Freestyle debut at RAF 5 on Saturday night.
Tsarukyan stepped on the mat with Lance Palmer inside the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, and handily defeated the former PFL and WSOF champion via a technical fall. In control from the get-go, Tsarukyan scored a quick four points after securing a headlock and using snapdown to drive over and go for back exposure.
After stalling out of bounds, Tsarukyan and Palmer are reset, but the UFC proceeds to work his opponent out of bounds two more times.
