Colby Covington and Arman Tsarukyan are officially set to face off at RAF 11 on July 18 in Milwaukee, following their respective victories at the ninth Real American Freestyle event in Arlington, Texas. Covington, who narrowly defeated Chris Weidman, expressed his intention to punish Tsarukyan for what he perceives as disrespectful behavior towards Americans, including an incident where Tsarukyan threw Urijah Faber off the stage. Covington stated, 'I want to set him straight. I want to teach him a lesson,' emphasizing that such actions are unprofessional. Tsarukyan, who remains undefeated in the organization at 5-0, has also faced scrutiny for other controversial actions, including a brawl with Georgio Poullas and a headbutt incident at UFC Qatar. Covington, now free from restrictions following his announcement of retirement from MMA, sees this matchup as an opportunity to assert his dominance and uphold American values in wrestling.
