  "account": "RAF 13, a freestyle wrestling card, took place at the Watsco Center in Miami, Florida on Friday night. The event featured a grudge match between UFC veterans Colby Covington and Belal Muhammad, as well as a rematch between former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns. The main card began at 8 p.m. ET and streamed live on Fox Nation.\n\nIn the cruiserweight crossover championship, Covington defended his title against Muhammad. Covington, who entered the event with a flawless RAF record, previously upset Arman Tsarukyan for the inaugural title. Muhammad aimed to capitalize on his victory over Ben Askren at RAF 11 in July. In the co-main event, Chimaev, returning from a brief hiatus, faced Burns in a rematch of their 2022 UFC bout. Chimaev defeated Burns by unanimous decision at UFC 273, but Friday marked their first meeting under freestyle wrestling rules.\n\nOther notable matches included Kennedy Blades defending her women's middleweight championship against Diana Avsaragova, Austin DeSanto capturing the bantamweight championship, Michael Caliendo and Timur Bizhoev competing for the welterweight title, and Jason Nolf and Julian Ramirez wrestling for the light heavyweight crossover championship. Luke Rockhold faced Joe Pyfer in the welterweight bout, while Georgios Kougioumtsidis and Chance Marsteller grappled for the cruiserweight title. Bryce Meredith and Movlid Khaybulaev squared off in the welterweight crossover championship, and Johnni DiJulius and Cayden Henschel fought for the featherweight crossover title. Mugzy and Real Tarzann also squared off in a catchweight crossover match.",
