Why this co-main matters for Belal Muhammad

Askren’s return after a double lung transplant a year ago is the night’s marquee draw. He chose a live opponent-Muhammad-over a soft tune-up. The 42-year-old former welterweight star will lace up against Muhammad in the co-main, a match Askren framed as no charity bout.

Who else is on the RAF 11 card?

The rest of the lineup mixes freestyle standouts with MMA names. Arman Tsarukyan and Colby Covington battle for the inaugural RAF Crossover Championship in the main event. Frankie Edgar meets Clay Guida in a rematch of former UFC lightweights, while Lucia Yepez defends her title against Felicity Taylor.
