Real American Freestyle (RAF) returns with one of its biggest events to date on Saturday, July 18, as RAF 11: Tsarukyan vs. Covington takes place at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The event is headlined by former UFC title challenger Arman Tsarukyan taking on former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington for the inaugural RAF Crossover Championship.
The event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) and will stream exclusively on Fox Nation in the United States. International viewers can watch the event live on the official Real American Freestyle YouTube channel, depending on regional availability.
RAF 11 continues the promotion’s crossover concept by bringing together elite mixed martial artists, Olympic wrestlers and decorated collegiate wrestlers under freestyle wrestling rules. The headline bout between Tsarukyan and Covington has generated significant attention, with both fighters known for their high-level wrestling backgrounds inside mixed martial arts.
The co-main event marks the highly anticipated return of former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight champion Ben Askren, who faces former UFC welterweight title challenger Belal Muhammad in a 190-pound contest. Askren, one of the most accomplished wrestlers to transition into MMA, returns to competition after several years away from professional combat sports.
Veteran UFC fan favorites Frankie Edgar and Clay Guida will also renew their long-standing rivalry in a catchweight bout, while championship contests feature throughout the card. Women’s strawweight champion Lucia Yepez defends her title against Felicity Taylor, while Ben Davino meets Arsen Harutyunyan for the cruiserweight championship.
The undercard features several accomplished wrestlers, including NCAA standout Keegan O’Toole, Olympic medalist Adeline Gray, Magomedkhan Magomedov, Magomed Ramazanov, Pat Downey, Anthony Cassioppi and Michael Caliendo, making RAF 11 one of the deepest cards in the promotion’s history.
Coverage of the event will feature an experienced broadcast team led by Olympic gold medalist and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, alongside former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen, veteran announcer Cyrus Fees, and former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Peña.
