"Georgio is a very average wrestler. If you look at his college record, it's not very good. And I think he's afraid of getting exposed. And I think his best way to win is to get Arman mad and get him disqualified. That's what I think his strategy is. Then maybe Georgio could still claim he is a good wrestler."
"I think he is trying to get a little extra rest right now, because those steroids don't help you go for long. Chael knows about this. Chael what do you think?"
Ben Askren, a former Olympian, criticized Georgio Poullas' wrestling performance against Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 6. Askren described Poullas as an average wrestler with a poor college record who resorted to dirty tactics including slapping, eye-poking, and finger-grabbing. Askren believed Poullas feared exposure against the superior wrestler Tsarukyan and employed a strategy designed to provoke him into disqualification. Askren suggested Poullas tired quickly due to alleged steroid use and attempted to gain rest during the match. Tsarukyan won by points and remained composed throughout, though he landed a punch on Poullas after the match ended, causing arena chaos.
