RAF Georgia Live: Dvalishvili vs. Cejudo

The inaugural Real American Freestyle event outside the United States lands in Tbilisi this Saturday, starring former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili against Olympic gold‑medalist Henry Cejudo. Both athletes arrive on a 1‑0 RAF record—Dvalishvili previously toppled Frankie Edgar, while Cejudo earlier dominated Urijah Faber. Their showdown also revisits a 2024 UFC bout where Dvalishvili bested Cejudo by unanimous decision, adding extra narrative tension to the mats.

The night’s headliner airs at 12 p.m. ET on FOX Nation, with Ununcrowned providing live results and highlights. In addition to the spotlight match, the card features Arman Tsarukyan facing Kuat Khamitov in a middleweight clash and three title bouts: Kyle Snyder defending his light heavyweight belt against Abdulrashid Sadulaev, Kyle Dake safeguarding the cruiserweight championship versus Vladimeri Gamkrelidze, and Helen Maroulis taking on Anhelina Lysak for the vacant women’s bantamweight title.
