Merab Dvalishvili broke his nose again during a grappling session with Frankie Edgar at a RAF event, though he downplayed the injury. Ben Askren is set to compete against Belal Muhammad at a RAF event on July 18, with Muhammad's first reaction upon being offered the fight being to ask whether Askren was in good health. Demetrius Johnson also commented that Russian and Dagestani fighters are reportedly being avoided by some promotions due to their exceptionally high level of competition.
