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

Gilbert Burns has officially retired from MMA competition. At RAF, Arman Tsarukyan dominated Urijah Faber with a 13-1 technical superiority victory and afterward called out Colby Covington, promising a 10-0 shutout. Tsarukyan said he gave Faber one point out of respect but will show no mercy against Covington, aiming to make people forget about him as a wrestler. Khamzat Chimaev has signed a contract with RAF, and Bo Nickal immediately responded by challenging the champion. The Guskov vs Blachowicz fight was canceled but replaced with a match against Polish fighter Ibo Baranievski.
