Khamzat
Chimaev was allegedly ready to back up Arman
Tsarukyan on a moment’s notice after the brawl at RAF 6.
Chimaev and Tsarukyan have long been training partners and friends.
Tsarukyan faced Georgio Poullas in a wrestling match at RAF 6 last
weekend. Tsarukyan repeatedly accused Poullas of playing dirty, and
the social media wrestling star was even penalized on points.
Tsarukyan defeated Poullas by points and proceeded to punch him,
which led to a brawl on the mats. Chimaev, who was watching the
match on television, was seen quietly smiling as the arena erupted
in chaos.
Tsarukyan revealed that Chimaev immediately called him and offered
to fly to Tempe, Arizona, to back him up. However, Tsarukyan turned
down the idea and urged Chimaev to calm down. Tsarukyan admits that
he and Chimaev together in a brawl is a bad idea. Tsarukyan claims
“Borz” is the crazier of the two. According to “Ahalkalakets,”
Chimaev is not seen engaging in brawls, as people are mostly scared
of the UFC middleweight champion. Tsarukyan admits that even he
would avoid a fight against Chimaev.
Keep These Two Apart
“He just called me right away and said, ‘Bro, should I fly out?’”
Tsarukyan said on ““The Ariel Helwani Show.” “I said, ‘Don’t come
bro, calm down.’ He said, ‘Why didn’t you invite me? Whenever there
is a fight, you don’t invite me. I got to be there.’ I said, ‘No,
no, no, bro.’ Khamzat shouldn’t be there. Me and Khamzat, we
shouldn’t be together in fights. For sure he [is crazier]. [You
don’t see him brawling] because everybody is scared of him. I
wouldn’t fight him too.”
