Gilbert Burns retires, Tsarukyan calls out Covington after Faber win

Gilbert Burns has announced his retirement from MMA competition. Arman Tsarukyan dominated Urijah Faber with a 13-1 scorecard and fulfilled his pre-fight promise by attempting to throw him into the crowd after the bout. Following the victory, Tsarukyan called out Colby Covington, promising to aim for a 10-0 scorecard and stating he gave Faber one round out of respect for his age. The Guskov vs. Blachowicz fight has been canceled but replaced with Jan Blachowicz facing fellow Polish fighter Iwo Baraniewski. Khamzat Chimaev has signed a contract with the RAF league, prompting an immediate response from Bo Nickal who threw down a challenge to the champion.
