The world of combat sports is about to get a major jolt of adrenaline as the Real American Fighters (RAF) promotion announces its explosive debut in the fight capital of the world. Mark your calendars for October 3rd, when RAF 14 takes over the stunning Fontainebleau's BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This isn't just another event—it's a statement. RAF co-founder Chad Bronstein captured the moment perfectly: "From day one, the vision for RAF was to build a platform big enough for the best wrestlers in the world and the biggest moments in sports. Las Vegas represents that better than anywhere. Fontainebleau is an incredible stage, and we're bringing together the best athletes in the world for a night that's going to feel massive."

While specific matchups for the Vegas debut will be announced closer to fight night, the promotion is already on fire. The action kicks off May 30th with RAF 9 in Arlington, Texas, featuring the promotional debut of Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson against former UFC and PFL powerhouse Alexandr Romanov. The co-main event is pure chaos: Colby Covington versus Chris Weidman in a grudge match that promises fireworks.

Just two weeks later, RAF 11 storms into St. Louis with a card that fight fans are already buzzing about. Former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev makes his RAF debut against the always-controversial Dillon Danis. Meanwhile, Arman Tsarukyan keeps his 2026 RAF ironman streak alive, stepping into the cage with veteran warrior Tony Ferguson.

Whether you're a die-hard fight fan or just love the energy of combat sports, RAF is building something special. Stay tuned for more matchups and gear up for a year that's redefining the fight game.
