American mixed martial artist Colby Covington defeated Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 11 in Milwaukee to capture the RAF Crossover championship belt.
The closely contested wrestling match ended in a 5-3 victory for Covington, who became the first champion in the history of the RAF Crossover division.
The title was introduced specifically for prominent athletes from other sports who regularly compete in the RAF Wrestling league.
This was Tsarukyan’s first defeat in RAF after winning each of his previous seven matches. The Armenian representative’s record in the league now stands at seven wins and one loss.
Covington, meanwhile, remains undefeated in RAF. The American has won all four of his matches in the league.
