More than four years after their “Fight of the Night” battle at UFC 273, former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev and one-time UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns will finally run it back on the RAF wrestling mats on Fri., Sept. 18, 2026 at Watsco Center on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, Florida.
RAF 13 will air exclusively on FOX Nation.
Chimaev won their initial go-round by way of split decision and eventually jumped to the middleweight division, where he remains
a top title contender. As for Burns, his career took a nosedive the following year and “Durinho” was forced to retire after five straight losses — three of which ended by way of knockout. The Brazilian recently resurfaced for UFC BJJ last June.
“Borz” is back on the RAF mats against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley for RAF Moscow this weekend in Russia.
