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

Multiple MMA developments were reported in a weekly roundup. Gilbert Burns has retired from competition. At a recent UFC event, Mike Malott will enter the top 15 rankings but is not believed to have the potential to defeat top welterweights of the new generation. The Guskov-Blachowicz fight was canceled but replaced with Ibo Aslan facing another Polish opponent. Arman Tsarukyan defeated Urijah Faber 13-1 at a wrestling event, threw him into the crowd as promised, and called out Colby Covington afterward, vowing to win 10-0 and make people forget Covington as a wrestler. Khamzat Chimaev signed a contract with the RAF wrestling league, and Bo Nickal immediately challenged him in response.
