Gilbert Burns retires; Arman Tsarukyan dominates Faber 13-1 at RAF

Gilbert Burns has officially retired from MMA competition. At the RAF event, Arman Tsarukyan dominated Urijah Faber with a 13-1 victory and afterward called out Colby Covington, promising to defeat him 10-0 and make people forget about Covington as a wrestler. Tsarukyan threw Faber into the crowd as promised during the pre-fight press conference. Hamzat Chimaev has signed with the RAF wrestling league, prompting an immediate challenge from Bo Nickal. Mike Malott is expected to enter the welterweight top 15, though the analyst questions his potential against elite competition. The Guskov-Blachowicz fight was canceled but replaced with Ibo Baraniewicz.
