Arman Tsarukyan vs Georgio Poullas rematch cancelled suddenly

During his appearance on Helwani’s show, Poullas mentioned that no contract had been finalised for the March 11 grappling bout with Tsarukyan. He added that he wanted any agreement to include a follow-up wrestling match under the RAF banner.

Helwani later reported that RAF Wrestling co-founder Chad Bronstein informed him that the grappling match has been scrapped. Instead, Poullas is now focusing on securing a second wrestling bout after their first contest ended 5-3 in favour of Tsarukyan.

Poullas looking for trilogy regardless of the grappling outcome

Georgio Poullas didn’t sound confident about beating Arman Tsarukyan in a submission grappling match, but he still planned to go through with it just to secure a third wrestling bout.

He spoke openly about his approach on the Helwani Show, saying: “Of course he doesn’t want to wrestle me again because he knows he’s going to lose. He felt my pressure. The only reason he won was because of the penalty points.

“But guess what? I’m supposed to go to Brazil to grapple him now. And you know why I’m doing that? So that he agrees to the rematch.”

Poullas wasn’t shy about his expectations for how things might go in their second meeting, even telling Helwani: “So what? He wants to choke me out? He wants to squeeze me?

“Good s—, bro. You can choke me out. You can squeeze me tight. I don’t care. The only reason I’m doing that is to get my get-back in this wrestling match.”
