Colby Covington battles Arman Tsarukyan for RAF Crossover title
Colby Covington will compete for Real American Freestyle's new Crossover Championship when he faces Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 11 on July 18 at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
The belt was created for athletes crossing over from other sports to wrestle, per MMA Mania. For Covington, the bout offers his first title opportunity after going 0-3 in undisputed UFC welterweight title fights before his recent release from the promotion.
What the matchup means for both fighters
Tsarukyan also enters without a title on his resume. The UFC lightweight contender lost out on his chance when his UFC 311 headliner fell through in early 2025.
The catchweight bout for the cruiserweight championship will stream exclusively on FOX Nation. Both fighters faced off this week ahead of the weekend card in Milwaukee.
