If Colby Covington 's last fights in the UFC left something to be desired, he rediscovered himself in RAF and is unstoppable. In the main event of RAF 13, held this Friday (18), in Florida (USA), the bad boy made short work of his rival Belal Muhammad , former welterweight champion (up to 77,3 kg), and won the battle of hatred via technical superiority.
A wrestling specialist, 'Chaos' impressed and simply beat 'Bully' 10-0. Thus, Covington, undefeated in the RAF, remains the cruiserweight champion who moves between weight classes.

In the UFC, Belal and Covington exchanged taunts, threats, and insults for years, but the long-awaited clash never materialized. However, the RAF managed to officially schedule the fight between the rivals, which was quick. Without difficulty, the bad boy displayed his skill on the mat. With a frenetic pace and without letting 'Bully' get into the fight, 'Chaos' scored points with his takedowns.
The former UFC champion was so bewildered by his rival's performance that he even lost points for inaction, making the opponent's job easier. At the end of the fight, the veterans showed a high level of professionalism, as they momentarily ignored their rivalry, shaking hands, and exchanging words without any problem.
