RAF 13 Fight Card Officially Confirmed – Covington Takes on Muhammad, Chimaev vs. Burns Added

Fans of mixed‑martial‑arts finally got the details they’ve been waiting for. RAF 13, the next big night on the Real Action Fighting schedule, has its full card out and it reads like a mini‑tournament. The promotion wasted no time putting marquee names on the top of the bill, ensuring both casual viewers and die‑hard followers have something to chew on.

Leading the charge is a surprise matchup that has the MMA community buzzing: former UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington will step inside the cage against rising prospect Abdul‑Rahman Muhammad. Covington, never one to shy away from a headline, hinted earlier this month that he’s not quite ready to hang up the gloves, and this fight feels like a perfect bridge between his past glories and whatever comes next. Muhammad, meanwhile, is coming off an impressive string of victories and will look to prove he belongs among the sport’s elite.

On the middleweight side, the card delivers another eye‑catcher. Khamzat Chimaev – the hard‑hitting Swedish‑Georgian hybrid known for his relentless pressure – will square off against Joey Burns, a fighter whose recent performances have turned heads. Chimaev, still looking for his next big statement after the split‑decision loss at UFC 328, sees this as a chance to re‑establish his dominance, while Burns is eager to pull off an upset that could catapult him into title contention.

Beyond the two headline bouts, RAF 13 features a well‑rounded undercard. Early‑night action includes a featherweight clash between veteran Charles “The Lion” Daniels and up‑and‑coming striker Luis Ortiz, a lightweight duel pitting former PFL contender Maya Sanchez against Brazilian grappler Thiago Silva, and a women’s bantamweight bout starring former champion Nadia Petrova against the fierce newcomer Aisha Khan.

The event is slated for November 23 at the Metroplex Arena in Dallas, Texas, with a start time of 7 p.m. ET. Fans can catch the live broadcast on the RAF streaming platform, and for those who prefer the traditional route, a pay‑per‑view option will also be available. Tickets are already selling fast, and the venue’s 12,000‑seat capacity is expected to fill up quickly.

All in all, RAF 13 promises a night packed with high‑octane action, strategic match‑ups, and plenty of storylines to follow. Whether you’re rooting for the outspoken Covington, backing the hungry underdog Muhammad, or simply can’t wait to see Chimaev’s next display of power, this card has something for everyone. Mark your calendars – this is one fight night you won’t want to miss.
