Covington vs Muhammad Confirmed for RAF 13 Crossover Title Fight
Real American Freestyle (RAF) has officially confirmed two high-profile crossover championship bouts featuring current and former UFC stars.
Colby Covington will defend his cruiserweight crossover title against longtime rival Belal Muhammad at RAF 13 on September 19 in Miami, while Merab Dvalishvili faces Henry Cejudo for the inaugural lightweight crossover title at RAF 12 on August 22 in Cleveland.
Covington and Muhammad’s rivalry intensified after Muhammad confronted the former interim UFC champion during the RAF 11 post-event press conference, leading to a heated brawl.
Although the fight was initially planned for RAF 12, organizers have moved the title clash to RAF 13.
RAF 12 will also feature a stacked lineup, including Jordan Burroughs vs. Sean Brady, Bo Nickal vs. Max McEnelly, and Tyron Woodley vs. Joaquin Buckley.
RAF 13 will add several championship bouts alongside Covington vs. Muhammad, while Olympic champion Gable Steveson, Larry Wheels, Mike Holston, and several top wrestling stars are also scheduled to compete across the two events.
