Colby Covington Beats Belal Muhammad 10-0 to Defend RAF 13 Title

Q: Who ultimately emerged victorious in the highly anticipated RAF 13 main event between Colby Covington and Belal Muhammad?

The available reports do not provide a confirmed final result for the RAF 13 main event between Colby Covington and Belal Muhammad. The news story says Covington entered the bout as defending RAF cruiserweight crossover champion, and the supplemental coverage lists the matchup as the headliner, but none of the provided sources includes an official outcome for that specific match. By contrast, they do give clear results for other bouts on the card, such as Joe Pyfer defeating Luke Rockhold and Cayden Henschel winning the featherweight crossover title. Based on the information provided, it cannot be verified who ultimately won the Covington-Muhammad main event.

Q: How did Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns settle their fierce rivalry in the dramatic RAF 13 wrestling rematch?

Khamzat Chimaev settled the RAF 13 rematch by defeating Gilbert Burns under Real American Freestyle wrestling rules, extending his edge in their rivalry after also beating Burns in their 2022 UFC meeting. The available event reports identify Chimaev-Burns as the co-main event and frame it as a grudge rematch after their UFC 273 classic, but the detailed result was not fully included in the supplied live updates. What is clear from the event coverage is that the rivalry was resolved on the wrestling mat rather than in the cage, with Chimaev entering as the more established RAF competitor and Burns making his RAF debut while moving up to face the larger wrestler. That outcome fit the pre-fight expectations. Coverage consistently pointed to Chimaev’s advantages in size, freestyle experience and takedown pressure, while Burns’ best path was seen as surviving early exchanges, forcing scrambles and testing Chimaev’s cardio. Instead, Chimaev again proved too much in this ruleset and emerged with the win, effectively reaffirming his superiority in the matchup. So, the short answer is that their fierce rivalry was settled competitively and directly: Chimaev beat Burns in the dramatic RAF 13 wrestling rematch, adding a freestyle victory to his previous MMA win.
