Real American Freestyle is back for its seventh event in promotion history and third in 2026! Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas will face off in a rematch in the Main Event of this card. The two first competed against each other at RAF 06. Former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Colby Covington is taking on the controversial Dillon Danis in the co-main event. RAF 07 is taking place at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida.
Tsarukyan defeated Poullas 5-3 on the judges’ scorecards. But after the match, chaos occurred when Tsarukyan pushed Poullas and began unloading punches. Then, many people from both teams joined, and an all-out brawl broke out. Now the two will run it back at RAF 07. Tsarukyan is currently the No. 2-ranked lightweight contender in the UFC but has found tremendous success competing in wrestling and grappling events outside MMA. He is 7-0-1 in wrestling and grappling matches in the last two years. Poullas is a former collegiate wrestler who has built a large social media following, challenging others to try to take him down.
Covington made his RAF debut against Luke Rockhold at RAF 05 and beat him by technical fall in the second round after being up 12-0. He is still with the UFC, but hasn’t fought for the promotion since December 2024. In the meantime, Covington has joined the Real American Freestyle to stay busy. Covington is facing Danis, who began his combat sports journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This is Danis’ first wrestling match, but he has competed in MMA, Boxing, and grappling in the past. Danis’s last combat sports competition was an MMA fight against Warren Spencer in August 2025, where he won by first-round submission.

Dake is 3-0 in RAF, while Keckeisen is 1-0 in the promotion. Dake is a former four-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion and a two-time Olympic Bronze Medalist.
