RAF, an unscripted professional wrestling league, has already enlisted the services of former and current UFC stars like Henry Cejudo, Arman Tsarukyan, Bo Nickal, Urijah Faber, Yoel Romero, Colby Covington and Michael Chandler, to name a few. The promotion’s upcoming event, RAF 6, takes place on Saturday in Tempe, Arizona and is headlined by a clash between Cejudo and Faber.

His reign ended in a unanimous decision defeat against Petr Yan at UFC 323 this past December.
