In a shocking turn of events, a last-minute injury has forced former UFC champion and Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo out of his highly anticipated main event wrestling match against Merab Dvalishvili at RAF08 tonight. This sudden scratch leaves fans wondering if they'll ever see a definitive answer to the classic clash of styles: Cejudo's Olympic-level technique versus Dvalishvili's relentless "Machine" cardio.

The bout was a compelling sequel to their UFC 323 encounter, offering Cejudo a chance at redemption in his post-retirement combat sports journey. Unfortunately, the fight is off, as announced by Real American Freestyle on social media just hours before the event.

With the headline bout canceled, the card has been reshuffled. The new main event features a thrilling crossover appeal with MMA stars Arman Tsarukyan taking on legend Urijah Faber. For the purists, the new co-main is a wrestling dream match: American Olympic champion Kyle Snyder faces off against world champion Rizabek Aitmukhan, promising a showcase of elite grappling.

Details on Cejudo's injury remain scarce, and there is no word yet on whether this marquee matchup will be rescheduled for a future date. For now, the focus shifts to a still-stacked card that promises high-level action for both MMA and wrestling fans alike.
