Colby Covington gets (another) title shot, faces Arman for the 'Crossover Championship' at RAF 11 — Federação de Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JUNE 09: UFC President Dana White places the interim welterweight championship belt on Colby Covington after defeating Rafael Dos Anjos of Brazil in their interim welterweight title fight during the UFC 225 event at the United Center on June 9, 2018 in Chicago...
Real American Freestyle (RAF) recently created a “Crossover Championship” title for those athletes crossing over from other sports to compete on the RAF wrestling mats. The new belt will debut as part of the RAF 11 lineup this weekend (July 18) at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee, where UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan tangles with former UFC welterweight Colby Covington.
They are competing to be the champion of combatants who “cross over” but in the case of Covington, he’s not crossing back, having recently been released from his UFC contract. At the very least, it will be an opportunity for “Chaos” to win his first title after going 0-3 in fights for the undisputed UFC strap. Similarly, this will be the first title shot for Tsarukyan after “Ahalkalakets” botched his UFC 311 headliner back in early 2025.
This weekend’s headliner will be contested at catchweight for the cruiserweight championship.
Here’s their first face off:
