While Arman
\nTsarukyan<\/a> defeated Urijah Faber<\/a>
\nvia technical fall at Real American Freestyle 8 on Saturday, it
\nwasn\u2019t the result of the match that attracted attention over the
\nweekend.<\/p>\n

Instead, one moment stood out: When Tsarukyan attempted a takedown
\nthat resulted in him driving Faber all the way off stage and onto
\nthe concrete floor on Saturday in Philadelphia. Fortunately,
\nneither man was hurt in what could have been a scary moment.<\/p>\n

“I don’t control myself so much, so if something happens it not
\nlike I thinking about something that happened from my mind,”
\nTsarukyan said after the match (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>). “Thank god Urijah didn’t get hurt
\nand we went viral again. So we need that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faber, meanwhile, provided an update via social media while poking
\nfun at his opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got all the makings of a champion\u2026except for self control,\u201d
\nFaber wrote on Instagram. Spoiled kid for life. Congrats [Arman
\nTsarukyan<\/a>] too much cushion for a hospital visit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dirty Move?<\/h2>\n

While both Tsarukyan and Faber appeared to be in good spirits after
\nthe tumble, RAF executive Izzy Martinez wasn\u2019t pleased with the
\nincident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like it. I don\u2019t like that,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cYou might as
\nwell punch him so he can protect himself. Pushing a guy off the
\nstage is pretty dirty to me and I\u2019m not a big fan of that.I didn\u2019t
\nlike it on my end, even though it was viral. But I don\u2019t have to
\nlike everything. I\u2019ve learned that. It\u2019s a promotional thing and it
\nis what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tsarukyan also made headlines for a recent match with
\nwrestler\/influencer Georgia Poullas at RAF 6. After the match,
\nTsarukyan threw a punch at his opponent, setting off a brawl in the
\narena. The
\nUFC<\/a> lightweight is currently awaiting his next assignment in
\nthe Octagon after submitting Dan Hooker<\/a> in
\nhis most recent appearance this past November.<\/p>\n
