It has been brewing for years.<\/a><\/p>\n

Real American Freestyle (RAF) 11<\/a> went down tonight (Sat., July 18, 2026) inside UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the post-fight press conference ended with absolute chaos.<\/p>\n

In the main event, three-time former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight title challenger Colby Covington defeated Arman Tsarukyan to win the inaugural RAF Cruiserweight Crossover title (watch highlights<\/a>). In the co-main event, former UFC Welterweight champion Belal Muhammad spoiled Ben Askren\u2019s return to the wrestling mats (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Both winners later appeared at the RAF 11 post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n

And eventually, things combusted.<\/p>\n

Muhammad was at the podium first, and when asked what he thought about Covington\u2019s match, \u201cRemember the Name\u201d did not exactly offer a glowing review.<\/p>\n

\u201cColby sucks,\u201d Muhammad said. \u201cIt\u2019s like doing laundry. I\u2019m not paying attention to that clown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Covington showed up roughly seven minutes into the press conference, and after giving Tsarukyan some praise, Muhammad immediately jumped in.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou beat a Lightweight,\u201d Muhammad said. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you go against a Welterweight?\u201d<\/p>\n

Covington fired right back.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou barely beat a dead guy,\u201d Covington said, referring to Askren\u2019s return after nearly dying and undergoing a double lung transplant. \u201cThis guy can only score on a dead guy and a gargoyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

That \u201cgargoyle\u201d shot appeared to be aimed at Muhammad\u2019s wife, which obviously did not help things.<\/p>\n

Not long after the back-and-forth started, RAF co-founder Chad Bronstein announced that Covington vs. Muhammad will serve as the co-main event of RAF 12.<\/p>\n

When asked about the upcoming match, Covington called it easy money.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be the easiest match I get in RAF,\u201d Covington said. \u201cI\u2019m surprised they are going to give me a free win like that. Super exciting for me. Easy money.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, the two kept bickering.<\/p>\n

Muhammad accused Covington of running, while Covington called him a \u201ccross-eyed dork\u201d and an \u201cugly motherf\u2014ker.\u201d The questions continued, but Muhammad kept jumping in and trying to talk over Covington.<\/p>\n

Eventually, \u201cChaos\u201d snapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cShut the f\u2014k up before I smack the s\u2014t out of you, b\u2014ch,\u201d Covington said.<\/p>\n

Muhammad immediately responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cStep up,\u201d Muhammad said. \u201cCome here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seconds later, Muhammad got out of his seat, charged toward Covington and kicked \u201cChaos\u201d as he was standing up.<\/p>\n

Security quickly rushed between them, separated both men and escorted them out of the press conference before things got even uglier.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, RAF 12 already has some heat.<\/p>\n
