Real American Freestyle’s RAF 8 took place on April 18, with a card headlined by UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan.
The event was originally slated to feature Henry Cejudo against Merab Dvalishvili, but Cejudo’s withdrawal due to injury led to the postponement of that bout. Consequently, Tsarukyan’s match against Urijah Faber was elevated to the main event.
