What happened: Joe Pyfer was paired with Luke Rockhold, Gilbert Burns met Khamzat Chimaev, and Belal Muhammad stood opposite Colby Covington. The three faceoffs brought together current and former UFC names around RAF13 in Miami.

Why it matters: That lineup gives RAF13 a cluster of established MMA names rather than a single recognizable draw. The event now has three familiar pairings to market, with Luke Rockhold, Burns, Chimaev, Muhammad and Covington all attached.

What to watch: Any official fight-week schedule or bout confirmations would be the next hard update out of Miami.
