Gilbert Burns retires, Tsarukyan defeats Faber 13-1 at RAF, Chimaev joins league

Gilbert Burns has announced his retirement from MMA. At RAF, Arman Tsarukyan dominated Urijah Faber with a 13-1 victory, throwing Faber into the fans and delivering an emphatic performance. Post-fight, Tsarukyan called out Colby Covington, promising a 10-0 win and vowing to make people forget Covington as a wrestler. Khamzat Chimaev has signed with RAF wrestling league, to which Bo Nickal immediately responded with a challenge. The Guskov-Blachowicz bout was cancelled but replaced by Guskov vs. Ibo Baraniewski. Mike Malott entered the top 15 welterweight rankings after his recent win, though the author questions his potential against elite competition.
