Instead, one moment stood out: When Tsarukyan attempted a takedown that resulted in him driving Faber all the way off stage and onto the concrete floor on Saturday in Philadelphia. Fortunately, neither man was hurt in what could have been a scary moment.

“I don’t control myself so much, so if something happens it not like I thinking about something that happened from my mind,” Tsarukyan said after the match (via MMAFighting.com). “Thank god Urijah didn’t get hurt and we went viral again. So we need that.”
Faber, meanwhile, provided an update via social media while poking fun at his opponent.
“He’s got all the makings of a champion…except for self control,” Faber wrote on Instagram. Spoiled kid for life. Congrats [Arman Tsarukyan] too much cushion for a hospital visit.”
Dirty Move?
While both Tsarukyan and Faber appeared to be in good spirits after the tumble, RAF executive Izzy Martinez wasn’t pleased with the incident.
“I don’t like it. I don’t like that,” Martinez said. “You might as well punch him so he can protect himself. Pushing a guy off the stage is pretty dirty to me and I’m not a big fan of that.I didn’t like it on my end, even though it was viral. But I don’t have to like everything. I’ve learned that. It’s a promotional thing and it is what it is.”
Tsarukyan also made headlines for a recent match with wrestler/influencer Georgia Poullas at RAF 6. After the match, Tsarukyan threw a punch at his opponent, setting off a brawl in the arena. The UFC lightweight is currently awaiting his next assignment in the Octagon after submitting Dan Hooker in his most recent appearance this past November.
