Arman Tsarukyan will have a sequel clash with Georgio Poullas under the RAF banner later this week, and the wrestler who went viral for beating Gable Steveson hopes the two keep it clean in the rematch after their initial brawl. The wrestler in question is Wyatt Hendrickson, who defends his RAF Unlimited Championship against long-time rival Trent Hillger on March 28th at RAF07. The brawl at RAF 06 between Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas made headlines with illegal strikes being exchanged between the two during a wrestling contest that had a palpable, ever-growing tension to it before the fight broke out. In the context of wanting to pursue MMA someday, punching people is a fun time for Hendrickson. But relative to Tsarukyan’s brawl, Hendrickson thinks they should “absolutely” keep that sort of thing out of the wrestling space.
