“I don’t control myself so much so if something happens, it’s not like I was thinking about [throwing him off the stage],” Tsarukyan said at the RAF08 press conference. “Something that happened from my mind. It comes right away. Thank god, Urijah didn’t get hurt and we went viral. We need that.”
RAF executive Izzy Martinez was not amused.
“I don’t like it,” 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.”
Faber praised Tsarukyan for his talent but condemned his lack of self control.
“He’s got all the makings of a champion,” Faber wrote on Instagram. “Except for self control. Spoiled kid for life. Congrats Arman, too much cushion for a hospital visit.”
