Recently retired UFC veteran, top contender to meet in RAF 11 main event

Colby Covington and Arman Tsarukyan will headline Real American Freestyle's RAF 11 event on July 18 at UWM Panther Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with the card streaming on Fox Nation. The matchup comes after Covington announced his retirement from MMA last week, though he did not rule out a future UFC return. The former welterweight title challenger has stated his focus is now on RAF, where he improved to 3-0 with a recent victory over fellow UFC veteran Chris Weidman. Tsarukyan, widely regarded as the top lightweight contender in the UFC, is stepping outside the octagon for this wrestling promotion bout.
